Pakistan has expressed openness to a bilateral security mechanism with the Taliban to coordinate information and resolve disputes. Proposed by Taliban Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani, the mechanism would involve committees on both sides to address contentious issues directly. However, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry stated that any institutional coordination must be supported by “tangible and verifiable” actions.

Islamabad is demanding that the Afghan interim government ensure its territory is not used by militant groups, such as the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), to launch attacks against Pakistan. Experts at a regional studies roundtable emphasized that Pakistan has exercised restraint despite continuous attacks coordinated from Afghan territory, urging the Taliban to prioritize addressing these security concerns and the humanitarian welfare of the Afghan people.
