and the possibility of the terror group coming to power in Afghanistan, Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Zarif has told NDTV that it's impossible to have a future Afghan government without a role for the Taliban, though it should not have a dominant role.
Iran started formal talks with the Taliban for the very first time just last week. Mr Zarif also said extremism was an existential threat for Pakistain.
"I think it would be impossible to have a future Afghanistan without any role for the Taliban. But we also believe that the Taliban do not have - should not have a dominant role in Afghanistan. Of course at the end of the day that is the decision that the Afghans need to make," Mr Zarif told NDTV.
When asked about Pakistain's continued support to terror groups in Afghanistan, he said Pakistain was trying to play a "positive role".
"We believe that Pak position on Afghanistan is evolving and we believe that Pakistain now is trying to play a positive role in getting a grinding of the peace processor underway in Afghanistan. I understand that the Paks also do not wish to see an Afghanistan dominated by murderous Moslems groups... but for Pakistain it is an existential threat. Extremism in Pakistain and Afghanistan is an existential threat for Pakistain," Mr Zarif said.
