The country’s foreign minister and deputy prime minister stated that the goal of this move is to enhance interactions and cooperation between Kabul and Islamabad.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan welcomed Islamabad’s recent decision to elevate its diplomatic relations in Kabul from chargé d’affaires to ambassador.
Zia Ahmad Takal, head of public relations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said: “The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan will also reciprocally upgrade the level of its chargé d’affaires in Islamabad to ambassador. Elevating the level of diplomatic relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan will pave the way for expanding cooperation between the two countries across many sectors.”
This development comes as the foreign ministers of China and Pakistan, in a bilateral meeting, emphasized the importance of international organizations in mediating improved relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan, considering it an effective step towards increasing trust and cooperation between the two countries.
Sayed Moqaddam Amin, a political analyst, stated: “Pakistan’s recent decision to upgrade its chargé d’affaires in Afghanistan to ambassador is another positive move by the Pakistani government. I hope this step, considering the vital interests of both parties and by fostering good relations and friendship, will provide a solution to existing challenges and deepen the political and diplomatic relations between Kabul and Islamabad.”
Salim Paigir, another political analyst, said: “The Pakistanis must forget the notion of a ‘Greater Afghanistan’ and recognize the fact that all the resources in Afghanistan belong to the Afghan people. Afghans will not allow anyone to plunder them. I believe that the Pakistanis can establish stable relations with us.”
Yesterday, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar described his recent visit to Kabul as productive and said that relations with Afghanistan are on the path to improvement.
He also announced that in order to expand interactions and cooperation with Afghanistan, Pakistan would elevate its diplomatic mission in Kabul from chargé d’affaires to ambassadorial level.
