Fazl Ahmad Menaie, Afghanistan’s Minister of Justice, citing his sources, announced that a delegation of Pakistani security and diplomatic officials traveled to Kandahar on October 22 and met with senior Taliban leaders. Their discussions focused on five key security and political issues.<\/p>\n
These topics included the surrender of Pakistan Taliban Movement (TTP) leaders, preventing Afghan fighters from entering Pakistan, the sale of Taliban properties in Pakistan, closure of the Indian consulate in Jalalabad, and stopping the transfer of Russian logistical aid to Iran.<\/p>\n
According to Menaie, the Taliban agreed to some of Pakistan’s demands during the meeting but in return requested that opposition centers in Pakistan be shut down, financial assistance be provided to control the border, and that the Pakistani consulate in Jalalabad also be closed.<\/p>\n
Although both sides have set a one-month deadline to fulfill their commitments, disagreements and mistrust persist between them. So far, there has been no official response from Pakistani authorities or the Taliban regarding this meeting or its details.<\/p>\n
This news comes amid escalating tensions between the Taliban and Pakistan in recent months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
