"Terrorism emanating out of Afghanistan is a concern not only for Pakistain but other neighbouring countries like China, Iran, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan as well," Ambassador Asif Durrani, Pakistain’s Special Representative on Afghanistan said, addressing a roundtable discussion on the "Pak-Afghan Relations: Challenges and Opportunities" at the Institute of Regional Studies (IRS
...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies...
) on Tuesday.
"Pakistain desires peace and stability in Afghanistan," a statement quoted him as saying.
Ambassador Durrani's remarks came as Pakistain has witnessed a surge in terrorist attacks, especially in KP and Balochistan, since the Taliban
...the once and current oppressors of Afghanistan...returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021.
A day earlier, the Pakistain Army killed three bully boyz while they were trying to infiltrate the Pak-Afghan border in the Dir district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
Moreover, two terrorist attacks took place last week, one in DI Khan and the other in Bannu. Two soldiers and five civilians were martyred in DI Khan while eight other soldiers were martyred while trying to foil a terrorist infiltration into the Bannu Cantonment in the wee hours of July 15.
At the roundtable moot, Ambassador Durrani said that Pakistain sought socioeconomic and political conditions in Afghanistan that would facilitate the return of over three million Afghan refugees currently residing in Pakistain.
