Tensions have increased high on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan even when the two countries try to ease the situation. The Durand line nearly 2,400 km has become an eternal flame point between the two parties, especially after Pakistan began to build a fence there.
However, speaking to CNN-NEWS18 in a global exclusive interview, Afghan Defense Minister Mullah Yaqoob stated that things were not as bad as it seemed.
Our relationship with Pakistan is in the durand line and regionally is political. God willing, our relationship is good and there is no big problem between us. In the boundary issue, I will mention that the two countries are separate and problems will definitely arise as evidenced by other countries. However, this incident is not serious enough to cause interference in our relationship. We have made efforts to solve the problems that arise between us through talks, “he said.
The durand line passes through the current Pakistani provinces from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (NWFP), tribal areas given by Federal (FATA), and Balochistan. It also includes 10 provinces in Afghanistan.
The shadow of terror has not left Afghanistan and remains a constant source of attention for countries such as India and the United States and others.
Mullah Yaqoob, however, tried to relieve that concern, said his country would not allow his land to be used to carry out terrorism in other countries.
Our relationship with Al-Qaeda broke out when America began its attack on Afghanistan and there was no new relationship with Al-Qaeda. They went to Arab countries and brought a revolution there and established themselves there. It was stated that after the signing of the Doha Agreement with America was our national and sincere responsibility to respect the pact, which clearly stated that the Land of Afghanistan would not be used against America and the coalition. Therefore, we are tasked with implementing it in a letter and enthusiasm and put the emphasis on it. Now we have examined it and America also acknowledged it, “he said.
The Minister of Defense also asked other countries, especially the United States, to bring down all the bitterness of Afghanistan and form friendly relations.
Our 20 years of hostility must be changed into new and synergy. We make efforts and are ready to have economic, political and new relations in all fields with America. There is no problem with this. America also should not create obstacles or lead to challenges before the new Afghan government. We hope they hold back and start a multi-square relationship with the Afghanists, “he said.
