A delegation of the Pakistan government is expected to visit Afghanistan to discuss the security issues with officials of the caretaker government, a spokesman for the Islamic Emirate said.

Islamic Emirate’s spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said that if Islamabad asked them, they are ready to mediate between Tahrik Taliban-e-Pakistan (TTP) and Pakistan’s government.  

“If they ask for assistance, we will try to cooperate but what belongs to us now is that we will never allow Afghan soil to be used against anyone,” he said.  

This comes as Geo News citing AFP said that a senior Pakistani police official in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the area of Monday's blast, said a Kabul delegation would hold "talks with the top brass." "When we say top brass, it means [...] Afghan Taliban chief Hibatullah Akhundzada," he said on condition of anonymity.  

Political analysts believe that such meetings and negotiations are effective for resolving issues between Kabul and Islamabad. 

“As long as Pakistan’s intelligence delegation does not meet with the security departments of Afghanistan, or fails to talk or find a proper solution, the delegation that comes on behalf of Pakistan cannot solve the problems,” said Janat Fahim Chakari, a political analyst.  

“The formation and training of terrorist groups is supported by Pakistan. The Afghan government is not involved in this issue,” said Shir Hassan Hassan, a political analyst. 

More than 100 people were killed in a blast that targeted a mosque in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. At least 225 people were wounded in the blast.
