Iran and Qatar on Thursday voiced serious concern over the rising tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, calling on neighboring nations to play a positive and constructive role in maintaining regional peace and stability.
This discussion took place during a phone call between Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi and Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani.
A statement from Iran’s foreign ministry highlighted that both ministers acknowledged the ongoing strain between Pakistan and Afghanistan and emphasized the importance of continued regional diplomatic efforts to uphold peace within the area.
Relations between Pakistan and the Taliban government in Kabul have worsened recently after Pakistan experienced two significant terrorist incidents—one at Cadet College Wana in South Waziristan and another in Islamabad.
In Islamabad, a suicide bombing targeted the District Judicial Complex, resulting in 12 deaths and at least 36 injuries. Among the casualties were lawyers and petitioners at the courthouse.
The same day, Pakistani troops cleared militants from Cadet College Wana in South Waziristan, killing all members of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, also known as Fitna al-Khawarij, who had infiltrated the school.
The foreign ministers also exchanged views on bilateral relations and regional developments, underlining the significance of ongoing efforts to deepen cooperation across all shared interests.
Additionally, they discussed recent events in Gaza and the latest U.S. draft proposal to the UN Security Council, stressing the need for continuous dialogue to safeguard Palestinian rights, especially their right to self-determination.
