The Afghan government has called for direct dialogue with Pakistan to address ongoing border tensions and prevent further conflict.
Zabihullah Mujahid, a spokesperson for the Afghan Taliban, emphasized that both countries should prioritize talks over confrontations.
In his statement, Mujahid said that peaceful communication is the best way to end hostilities and resolve misunderstandings. He stressed that diplomatic engagement can help prevent unnecessary loss of life and strengthen mutual trust.
The appeal comes amid rising incidents along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, where security concerns and cross-border exchanges have intensified in recent weeks.
Experts say that dialogue between Pakistan and Afghanistan is crucial for regional stability. Both countries share cultural, economic, and security ties, and unresolved disputes can affect trade, border communities, and broader geopolitical dynamics.
Historically, third-party mediation, like Iran’s recent offer to facilitate discussions, has been suggested as a way to support communication and prevent escalation.
The Afghan call for talks also aligns with wider efforts in the region to promote peace and cooperation. Observers note that engaging in structured negotiations could lead to agreements on border security, trade, and joint counterterrorism measures, benefiting citizens on both sides.
While details of formal talks have not been confirmed, the Afghan government’s public call for dialogue signals a willingness to resolve conflicts through diplomacy.
Analysts hope that Pakistan and Afghanistan will seize this opportunity to stabilize relations, reduce tensions, and create a framework for peaceful collaboration along the shared border.
