A senior Taliban foreign ministry official warned on Sunday that escalating tensions with Pakistan threaten to erode regional confidence in cross-border connectivity projects, urging Islamabad to resolve disputes through dialogue.
Abdul Hai Qanit, head of the Taliban foreign ministry’s Center for Strategic Studies, told a panel at the Doha Forum that Afghanistan’s economic integration with its neighbours depends heavily on stable relations with Pakistan, where border crossings have remained closed for nearly two months amid repeated clashes.
