Pakistan'sMinistry of Foreign Affairs has once again expressed concern over the potential for terrorist groups to access weapons left behind by the United States in Afghanistan.Speaking in a news conference, Pakistan'sspokesperson for the foreign ministry Shafqat Ali Khan urged the leaders of the Islamic Emirate not to allow the weapons left by the US to fall into the hands of terrorists, as this would create serious security concerns for both Pakistan and the region.&Regarding the issue of weapons left behind in Afghanistan, it should be noted that Afghan officials are responsible for ensuring that, under no circumstances, such weapons fall into the hands of terrorist groups.
This is a significant concern for the countries of the region, and we continue to call for increased attention to this matter,& said Shafqat Ali Khan.Currently, the relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan do not appear to be very positive.
However, some experts believe that a unified stance must be created between the countries in the region to combat terrorism.Earlier, the Islamic Emirate has described such concerns as baseless and repeatedly stated that all US weapons and military equipment left behind are secured by the government, with no group or individual having access to them.Relations between Kabul and Islamabad have always been tense since IEA'stakeover, particularly regarding the issue of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
Pakistan claims that this group plans and carries out attacks from Afghan soil against Pakistan.However, the Islamic Emirate has repeatedly rejected Pakistan'saccusations, calling them baseless.The post Pakistan: IEA must prevent US weapons from reaching terrorists first appeared on Ariana News.
