Pakistan's ISI Chief in Kabul for Bilateral Relations: Taliban
2021-09-06
[ToloNews] A day after the arrival in Kabul of the head of the Pakistain Inter-Services Intelligence
...the Pak military intelligence agency that controls the military -- heads of ISI typically get promoted into the Chief of Army Staff position. It serves as a general command center for favored turban groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, tries to influence the politix of neighboring countries, and carries out a (usually) low-level war against India in Kashmir...

on Sunday said that Hamid is in Afghanistan to improve bilateral relations between Kabul and Islamabad.

Earlier, Pak media reported that Hamid was in Kabul at the invitation of the Taliban, but the Taliban said that Pakistain had proposed his visit to Kabul.

Ahmadullah Wasiq, deputy head of the Taliban’s Cultural Commission, said the Taliban leaders talked with Hamid about bilateral relations and the problems of Afghan passengers at Torkham and Spin Boldak passes between Afghanistan and Pakistain.

"This Pak official has come to solve Afghan passengers’ problems at the border areas, especially in Torkham and Spin Boldak. They wanted (his visit to Kabul) and we accepted," Wasiq said.

When asked by a news hound about his visit to Kabul, Hamid said: "Don’t worry, everything will be okay."

Hamid also said that his country will provide technical support for Afghanistan to restart operations at Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai

, the leader of Hizb-e-Islami party, said that Hamid also met with Hekmatyar, and they discussed the current situation in the country.

"Although Hamid says his visit is for Afghanistan-Pakistain issues and for the Afghan passengers, I think his trip to Kabul has caused concerns among the Afghans and it means Pakistain will recognize the government that the Taliban will announce," said Sami Yousufzai, a journalist.

Hamid arrived in Kabul on Saturday and is the only high-ranking foreign official to visit Kabul following the Taliban’s takeover of the city.
