Pakistan-Afghanistan security and diplomatic tensions

Overview

Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has utilized international forums to demand that the Afghan Taliban take verifiable action against terrorism.

Speaking at the 81st United Nations General Assembly, Dar urged the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to pressure the Taliban to prevent Afghan soil from being used for attacks against neighboring nations. He cited “misplaced priorities and flawed ideologies” as reasons why international expectations for inclusivity and counter-terrorism remain unfulfilled, specifically referencing security incidents such as the attack in Kohat.

In a subsequent meeting of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) Council, Dar reiterated that regional peace and prosperity depend on eliminating terrorism originating from Afghanistan. He called for concrete measures against groups including the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA). Additionally, Dar advocated for increased regional cooperation and economic resilience among ECO member states.
