Amir Khan Muttaqi, acting Foreign Minister of the Taliban administration, has stated that talks between the Taliban delegation and Pakistani officials are ongoing in the city of Urumqi, China. These negotiations continue amid approximately one and a half months of military clashes between the two sides, which have raised concerns across the region.<\/p>\n
Muttaqi, speaking on Sunday (April 5) at the opening of the Afghanistan\u2013Central Asia Consultative Dialogue in Kabul, said that the Taliban delegation is participating in the process with ‘sincerity and a solution-oriented approach.’ He added that the administration has always sought to resolve issues through understanding and dialogue but simultaneously reserves the ‘right to defend the territorial integrity and people’ of Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
The Taliban’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Thursday that it had dispatched a delegation to Urumqi for talks with Pakistan. According to the ministry, the meeting was convened at the initiative and request of China.<\/p>\n
Previously, Pakistani media had reported that these talks were arranged during visits by a Chinese special envoy to Kabul and Islamabad. Despite several days passing since the start of the negotiations, no details about the discussion topics or any potential progress have been disclosed.<\/p>\n
In light of the recent clashes causing damage and fueling mistrust, observers emphasize that transparency in the negotiation process and providing clear information to citizens are essential to prevent further escalation of tensions and ensure stability in the region. However, the Taliban administration has so far released only limited information to the media regarding these talks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
