Pakistan's special representative for Afghanistan, Mohammad Sadiq, emphasized at the end of his visit to Kabul that establishing an organized and sustainable structure between the two countries is essential for resolving disputes.

He added that such mechanisms are crucial for addressing sensitive and strategic issues, such as the TTP crisis and the situation of Afghan refugees.

The special representative said: "Regular and sustained engagement through such mechanisms is essential to ease tensions, dispel doubts, and strengthen mutual understanding in bilateral ties."

“Efforts should be made for Kabul and Islamabad to hold regular meetings so they can eventually reach a stage where they sign a security agreement—one where no country blames the other. These issues need to be set aside, and a solution must be found,” said Shamsur Rahman Ahmadi, a political analyst.

“Afghanistan-Pakistan relations may not improve and could even deteriorate further because of Pakistan’s domestic needs, which drive it to remove its name from the blacklist and accuse Afghanistan of terrorism. The delegation that came to Afghanistan included mostly security and intelligence figures. Therefore, I believe relations between the two countries will not improve in the near future,” said Wahid Faqiri, an international relations analyst.

Meanwhile, the acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi shared Kabul’s concerns about the forced expulsion of Afghan refugees during his meeting with Pakistan’s special representative for Afghanistan.

Muttaqi emphasized that Kabul and Islamabad should resolve their issues through dialogue in an atmosphere of trust.

Zia Ahmad Takal, head of public relations at the Foreign Ministry, said: “The Foreign Minister discussed the current situation in detail and expressed his deep concern regarding Afghanistan-Pakistan relations and specific issues between the two countries, especially the recent forced expulsion of Afghan refugees.”

“Meetings should be held to reach a solution. Discussions on security issues, the TTP group, and trade matters are necessary,” said Amanullah Hotaki, another political analyst.

Despite the 7th Pakistan-Afghanistan Joint Coordination Committee (JCC) meeting being held behind closed doors in Kabul after a 15-month delay—and with the Islamic Emirate not disclosing any details—one member of the Pakistani delegation told the Express Tribune that Islamabad has been informed of Kabul’s steps to address terrorist hideouts.
