Economic Crisis Means Kabul Cannot Meet Intl Obligations: Zardari

The Pakistan Foreign Minister, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, said that the humanitarian and economic crisis in Afghanistan has made it more difficult for the Afghan interim government to live up with its obligations towards the international community.

Zardari made the remarks at a panel in Munich Security Conference.

"There is a humanitarian crisis, but as you mentioned, there is an economic crisis, and that is having... affects, I think that is making it more difficult for the interim government in Afghanistan to live up to the obligations to the international community," Zardari said.

The Pakistan Foreign Minister also called for formation of an inclusive government in Afghanistan.

"We all want to see a more inclusive setup in Afghanistan as they have committed before the fall of Kabul," he said.

Zardari also expressed concerns over activities of terrorist groups.

"The concern is that if we don't take these groups seriously, the interim government doesn't take these groups seriously, they don't demonstrate first the will and then the capacity to take on terrorist groups, then they will conduct terrorist activities in the region first, and we are already witnessing in Pakistan an uptick in terrorist activities since the fall of Kabul," he said.

The Islamic Emirate’s spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said there will be no threat from Afghan soil to any country.

"Both the world and countries should consider this stability fortunate. They should be cooperative, so we can jointly alleviate the regional--and beyond regional--threats and tensions," Mujahid said.

This comes as the foreign minister of Spain suggested engagement with Afghanistan in order to support the people of the country.

The Munich Security Conference is held for three days.
