After the formation of the new government in Pakistan, Afghanistan has taken the initiative to improve relations with the neighboring country. According to reports, Taliban has said that it is important for both the countries to improve relations with Pakistan. Afghan government spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid has appealed to the new government of Pakistan to be lenient on the deportation of Afghan refugees. Zabiullah Mujahid said in his statement that since the formation of the Taliban government in the Islamic Emirate, he has tried to build good relations with all its neighbors including Pakistan.
He further said, “Afghanistan also needs good relations with Pakistan, we want Pakistan to make good progress in various fields with Afghanistan and the new government should take steps to solve all the problems related to us.”
After the formation of the Taliban government, it was expected that relations between the two Muslim countries would remain good. But this did not happen, last year the caretaker government led by Anwar-ul-Haq Kakkar announced the expulsion of 11 lakh Afghans living illegally in Pakistan, after which tension arose between the Taliban and the Pakistan government. Apart from this, Pakistan has held organizations associated with Afghan Taliban responsible for many blasts taking place there.
Afghanistan's acting Prime Minister Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund has also appealed to end the cruel attitude of Pakistani authorities towards refugees. On sending back refugees, he said, “Such actions have created more problems instead of finding solutions to the issues.
After the ouster of Imran Khan from power, Afghanistan's relations with the caretaker government of Pakistan have continuously deteriorated. Now Taliban is trying to improve relations with the new government of Pakistan. Recently, Afghan Foreign Minister Aamir Khan met Indian officials in Kabul and discussed diplomatic relations. China has already established its relations with the Taliban government.
