Kakar: All Countries In the Region want the Afghan Government to Be Recognized

 

He added that until the countries of the region and the world recognize the current government of Afghanistan, Pakistan will not take a step forward in this regard.

 

“I personally believe that all the countries in the region want the Afghan government to get recognized, although I cannot talk about the exact time, regional countries have understood this. I believe that the issue of recognition will be resolved as time passes,” Anwar ul-Haq Kakar said.

 

During the interview, Kakar said the Durand Line is an internationally recognized “border” between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

 

“The UN and 206 countries have approved this as an international border, what the Afghan people say about this is their internal discussion, in which I am not interested,” he said.

 

Kakar once again claimed that Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has shelter in some provinces of Afghanistan. According to him, this issue has caused insecurity in Pakistan.

 

“But when my people come to your soil, use it, train on it, and then come and harm my people, then I will definitely be telling you that my unpleasant brother is on your soil, no matter if by your permission or not, he must be expelled from your soil,” he said.

 

This is Pakistan’s stance; we have not accused the Afghan government of intentionally sheltering these people,” Kakar further stated.

 

The prime minister of Pakistan's caretaker government said that no nation would be permitted to utilize Pakistan's airspace against Afghanistan and he denied allowing foreign drones to fly into Afghanistan from his country.
