Afghan Taliban pledge to fight with TTP along with Pakistan.
A delegation from Pakistan led by the defence minister was successful in obtaining another pledge from the Afghan Taliban to deal with the TTP and other terrorist organisations.
As a high-level delegation raised the issue with Kabul, the Taliban-run government in a war-torn nation assured the Pakistani delegation that action would be taken against TTP strongholds on its territory.
Along with DG Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Lt. Gen. Nadeem Anjum, Foreign Secretary Asad Majid, and Special Envoy on Afghanistan Ambassador Muhammad Sadiq, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif paid a visit to the Afghan capital.
The Foreign Office said in a statement that a delegation led by the Defence Minister discussed the growing threats from the TTP and IS-K, and both sides agreed to take action to effectively combat the threat of terrorism.
Reports in local media quoting officials claimed that the outcome of the recent visit was ‘positive’ as Kabul was receptive to Islamabad’s concerns with regard to the terror outfit.
It further maintained that the Taliban-led government also assured of certain actions against militants including TTP.
The country’s intelligence chief and defence minister visited neighbouring Afghanistan in wake of escalated attacks by terror organizations that are taking shelter in Afghanistan.
