Pakistani Diplomat Discusses Afghanistan With German Parliamentary Delegation

Asif Durrani, the special representative of Pakistan for Afghanistan, announced that he had discussed "the international community's engagement with Afghanistan" with a German parliamentary delegation.

Durrani said that in this meeting, terrorism, as well as the economic and social situation of Afghanistan, were also discussed.

On Friday, Durrani reported on his meeting with the German parliamentary delegation in a post on the X social media platform, calling it "useful”.

Despite having historically close relations with the Taliban, Pakistan's relations with the group have become strained since the Taliban came to power.

Islamabad accuses the Taliban of sheltering the Pakistani Taliban on Afghan soil. Previously, the UN Security Council sanctions monitoring team also described Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan as "the largest terrorist group in Afghanistan" in a report.
