Ishaq Dar, Pakistan’s deputy prime minister and foreign minister, during a meeting with the OIC in New York called for a comprehensive framework to guide engagement between Afghanistan’s interim government and the international community.
Ishaq Dar said that such a framework could determine how Afghanistan’s relations with the international community could be normalized.
According to Dar, this framework could help resolve existing issues between the Islamic Emirate and the international community.
“Pakistan believes that the international community should adopt a comprehensive strategy outlining a road map of actions to be taken by the Afghan interim government, including counter-terrorism and respect for the rights of women and girls, and those reciprocal steps which the international community can take to promote Afghanistan’s economic and social development and the normalization of its relations with the international community,” he said.
Ishaq Dar also stressed support for Afghanistan’s economic recovery and the release of its frozen assets.
Meanwhile, some political analysts have expressed differing opinions on Pakistan’s policies toward Afghanistan.
Political analyst Jannat Faheem Chakari told TOLOnews: “A comprehensive framework for Afghanistan’s integration at the United Nations General Assembly is essential; such a framework could enable Afghanistan to establish direct ties with the West and the UN, and allow it to join the General Assembly.”
Another political analyst, Nik Mohammad Hamdard, also said: “It is clear to the world and the region that if Afghanistan is stable, the world and the region will also be stable. Therefore, Pakistan wants and has asked the Islamic Emirate to engage positively with the region and the world. This is a positive suggestion from Pakistan.”
The Islamic Emirate has not yet commented on this matter. However, in the past, its spokesperson emphasized the importance of good relations with Pakistan, despite occasional tensions between the two countries.
