WANA (Jun 1) – Important speeches of Mawlawi Sardar Shakib Ahmed, representative of the “embassy officer” of the Afghan Taliban government in Pakistan:

 

  • “The Afghan Taliban is determined to have good relations with all countries, especially its neighbors, primarily the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
  • “Trade and people-to-people relations with Iran and Pakistan are on the agenda of the Taliban, and we have reached good agreements to expand bilateral cooperation with our neighbors.”
  • “The occurrence of some incidents in the neighbors’ borders is natural, and sometimes border conflicts happen. However, the authorities of both countries are in close contact with each other to reduce the level of these conflicts to zero and not allow these incidents to affect friendly relations and cast a shadow on the two nations.”
  • “The Afghan Taliban never wants to affect its relations with its neighbors, and according to Islamic principles, we do not take any steps to violate the rights of our neighbor Iran.”

  • “Afghanistan and the Taliban government approve Iran’s claim, and we consider this a legal issue, and according to the Taliban’s energy minister, the technical officials of the two countries are also in contact with each other. However, the drought also targeted the people of Afghanistan and caused water resources to decrease.
  • “The reports that Helmand sea water is stored and flowing to Pakistan are far from the truth. Afghanistan still needs significant investments and capacity building to save water, let alone change its route to Pakistan by keeping water from the Hirmand Sea.”
