Pakistan: No Plans for Afghan Envoy

Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, the spokesperson for Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated during a press conference that Islamabad has no plans to appoint a special representative for Afghanistan.

According to the spokesperson, Pakistan’s Minister for West Asia is leading the country's interactions with Afghanistan.

The spokesperson said, "Foreign Secretary for West Asia and Afghanistan continues to lead Pakistan's engagement with Afghanistan and discussions with neighboring countries of Afghanistan.”

Mumtaz Zahra Baloch also told reporters that Pakistani officials have discussed threats originating from Afghanistan with representatives from China and Russia, who recently visited Islamabad.

"Diplomatically and politically, when a country sends a representative to another, it signifies cooperation with that country, involvement in its affairs, and advancing matters closely. Therefore, Pakistan removed its representative to show the world that it does not cooperate with Afghanistan and is dissatisfied due to the claims it always makes about terrorism in Afghanistan being used against Pakistan,” said Aziz Maarij, a former diplomat.

On the other hand, Suhail Shaheen, the head of the Islamic Emirate’s political office in Qatar, says that Afghan soil is secure, and neighboring countries should refrain from accusing Afghanistan.

"We want peace and stability in neighboring and regional countries, and we consider it necessary for the progress and prosperity of our country and the region, “said Suhail Shaheen.

Meanwhile, Pakistani media had previously attributed the dismissal of Asif Ali Durrani to disagreements within Pakistan's policy toward Afghanistan.
