The Pakistani Foreign Office on Saturday called the statement of a senior minister of the interim government of Afghanistan a hypocrisy of ‘history’ and ‘rational facts’, claiming that Pakistan did not want to see a strong or independent Afghan government in Kabul, even if the leadership was in the hands of someone.
In an interim government in Afghanistan, Taliban Energy and Irrigation Minister Abdul Latif Mansoor on Thursday alleged in an interview with Shamshad News that Pakistan did not want to see a strong or independent Afghan government in Kabul, even if the leadership was in someone’s hands.
“Pakistan is against any stable central government in Afghanistan, whether it is the Taliban, Mujahideen or Communist.”
Abdul Latif Mansoor said: “Some of our neighbors, especially Pakistan, do not want a stable government in Afghanistan.”
In this regard, Pakistan’s Foreign Office has made it clear to independent Urdu that bilateral relations between the two countries are now at the level of ambassadors. And this process, in our view, is complete. Pakistan’s Afghan Ambassador has a protocol due to an ambassador. The upgrade is upgraded to the ambassador level, and further action is not required. Afghanistan as a stable country will not be much in the interest of anyone than in Pakistan. This statement completely denies history and rational facts.
The Afghan minister’s statement came at a time when Pakistani security forces killed 33 terrorists in an operation, which thwarted the terrorists’ efforts to cross the border with Afghanistan.
According to a statement issued by the Public Relations Department (ISPR) of the Army Department, the security forces were trying to kill a large group of militants belonging to the Indian proxy Fatna al -Karaj in the Sambaz area of Zobe district of Balochistan on the night of 7 and 8, 2025.
The Taliban’s Energy and Irrigation Minister said: “Now we have felt that Pakistan does not want an Afghan government who stands on its own.”

Abdul Latif Mansoor alleged that “Islamabad causes internal division and crisis in Afghanistan to deliberately acquire his political and economic interests.”
Reacting to Pakistan’s repeated claims, to shelter the banned Tehreek -e -Taliban Pakistan (TTP) fighters, Abdul Latif Mansoor did not deny the group’s presence in Afghanistan, but said that any TTP center in the country was before the Taliban came to power.
He insisted that Afghanistan was not being used as a basis for attacks on neighboring countries.
He claimed that TTP fighters themselves admitted that they were operating from tribal areas of Pakistan, so instead of blaming Afghanistan, Pakistan should find them in tribal areas.
Relationships between the Taliban and Islamabad have carefully improved after two -year acute tension and allegations against each other, especially on the TTP issue, although the relationship between the two countries has seen above and down this year.
The Afghan refugees expressed concern over their forced return to Pakistan during returning to Pakistan during February and March 2025 and appealed to Pakistan to take a soft attitude.
After that, Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar traveled to Kabul for two days on April 19, 2025.
Meetings with Afghan officials discussed Border Security, Counter -Morism Cooperation, Bilateral Trade and Transit routes.
Both sides agreed to strengthen high -level relations and confidence building measures, but Afghan officials also expressed reservation on some Pakistani policies.
In May 2025, Pakistan announced the status of an ambassador for its diplomatic staff in Kabul and Kabul asked to increase its representative rank in Islamabad.

This step was described as an attempt to normalize relationships and increase relationships.
In May 2025, Foreign Ministers of Pakistan, Afghanistan and China were met.
The three countries discussed investment, regional stability in Afghanistan and the possible expansion of China -Key Economic Transit (C -PAC). China confirmed its commitment to economic participation and stability in the region.
On June 1, 2025, there was a telephonic conversation between Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Mutti, reviewing diplomatic upgradation, border issues and measures for confidence. Both emphasized more contacts in future.
Representatives of Pakistan, China and Russia gathered in late June for informal talks with Afghanistan.
The axis of negotiation was regional harmony, economic coordination and security cooperation.
During August 2025, security incidents were reported several times, including operations by Pakistani forces and operations near Afghan borders.
