Pakistan provides China with fresh information on TTP activities in Afghanistan

Pakistani media reported that Islamabad shared “compelling evidence” with China’s Special Representative for Afghanistan, Yu Xiaoyong, regarding the presence of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other groups operating from Afghan territory.

According to The Express Tribune, Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs presented this evidence during Yu Xiaoyong’s visit to Islamabad on Monday, November 18.

The report noted that the Chinese envoy’s trip to Islamabad came just days after Russian Special Envoy Zamir Kabulov’s visit, highlighting the growing international focus on Afghanistan’s role in regional security.

Citing sources, The Express Tribune stated that Pakistan briefed the Chinese envoy about the current situation in Afghanistan, detailing how terrorist groups such as the TTP have been using Afghanistan’s territory.

Pakistani officials reportedly shared compelling evidence about terrorist sanctuaries in Afghanistan and emphasized that it is time for a collective stance against the Taliban regime to ensure they fulfill their commitments to the international community.

The Afghan Taliban, however, have consistently denied Pakistan’s allegations, asserting that no terrorist groups are allowed to use Afghanistan’s soil against any country.

The conflicting narratives highlight the ongoing challenges in addressing regional security concerns and fostering trust among stakeholders.

These discussions underscore the growing frustration in Islamabad over what it perceives as the Taliban regime’s failure to act against militant groups that threaten regional stability.

Pakistan’s calls for a united international response indicate its desire to increase pressure on the Taliban government.

The involvement of China and Russia in these talks signals the international community’s recognition of the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan and its broader implications.

A coordinated regional approach may be critical to addressing the escalating threats posed by militant groups.
