Afghanistan’s Foreign Ministry said on Sunday that talks with Pakistan had been positive, while Türkiye stressed the importance of stronger ties between Kabul and Islamabad.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi met Türkiye’s chargé d’affaires in Kabul, Sadin Ayyıldız. The two sides discussed regional developments and recent negotiations held in Ürümqi, China.
The ministry said Muttaqi described Afghanistan’s relations with Türkiye as positive and noted that Ankara’s earlier mediation efforts had been valuable.
Summarising the state of the talks, the ministry said Muttaqi stressed that progress had been made, saying, “So far, the talks have been positive,” and expressed hope that “minor technical issues” would not slow the process.
The Turkish envoy also underlined Ankara’s stance. According to the Afghan ministry, Ayyıldız said positive relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan were of “special importance” to Türkiye and that his country would continue its efforts in that regard.
Pakistan has not publicly commented on the latest meeting. However, in earlier statements on the wider crisis, Pakistani officials said counter-terrorism operations would continue until militant safe havens and cross-border threats were addressed.
The meeting comes days after China said Afghanistan and Pakistan had agreed in Ürümqi not to take steps that would escalate the situation.
According to the United Nations, recent fighting has displaced more than 94,000 people. Around 100,000 people in Nuristan’s Barg-e-Matal and Kamdesh districts have also been cut off from humanitarian assistance.
