Shahbaz Sharif Calls on Global Community to Pressure Taliban to Honor International Commitments

Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif reiterated his call for the international community to exert greater pressure on the Taliban government in Afghanistan to fulfill its international obligations. Speaking at a forum held to mark the International Year of Peace and Trust and International Neutrality Day of Turkmenistan, he highlighted serious concerns regarding security at the border, stressing the need for a firmer stance against the Taliban regime.

Pressure on the Taliban for Accountability

During the forum, Shahbaz Sharif said, “The global community must apply more pressure on the Taliban government in Afghanistan to uphold their commitments and responsibilities.”

He pointed to the source of current security threats, noting that a new wave of terrorism is emerging from Afghan territory, which poses a risk to the entire world. He emphasized that peaceful resolution of conflicts is a cornerstone of Pakistan’s foreign policy.

This appeal comes amid deteriorating relations between the Taliban government in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Islamabad claims that armed opposition groups, particularly the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), are crossing into Pakistan from Afghanistan; however, the Taliban government rejects these assertions, urging Pakistan to address its internal issues independently.

Tensions escalated recently when the armed forces of both nations engaged in a week-long border clash in October. The repercussions of these confrontations are still unfolding.
