Pakistan has voiced serious concern over the continued use of Afghan territory for terrorist attacks and reaffirmed that its border restrictions and trade suspension with Afghanistan will remain in place.

During the weekly press briefing on Friday, Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Hussain Andarabi said the Afghan Taliban are supporting groups involved in terrorist activities and must prevent Afghan nationals from conducting attacks within Pakistan. He said Afghan territory is consistently being used to carry out terrorism against Pakistan, which is the reason Islamabad suspended trade with Kabul.

The spokesperson also welcomed Turkiye’s interest in mediation efforts, though the planned visit of a Turkish delegation was postponed due to the Turkish vice president’s foreign commitments.
