Afghanistan Interior Minister Khalifa Sirajuddin Haqqani has welcomed the recent statements by Pakistani religious scholars and Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar regarding efforts to reduce tensions between Kabul and Islamabad. He stated that Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar made positive remarks regarding Afghanistan, adding that they welcome goodwill and brotherly statements from anyone. “They want to address concerns both domestically and internationally and reassure everyone that the Afghan people harbour no threats or ill intentions toward anyone,” the Afghan minister continued. Interior Minister Haqqani also appealed to other countries to play a role in the reconstruction of Afghanistan and urged Afghan citizens to support the Islamic Emirate in this process. Foreign Minister Dar, during a press conference in Islamabad the other day, had said that Pakistan holds goodwill toward Afghanistan and does not want Afghan soil to be used against it.
