ISLAMABAD: Interim Afghan Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani declared that the country had fulfilled its Doha commitments, posed no threat internationally, and remained open to dialogue for “resolving any existing challenges”, Afghan media reported.
Haqqani claimed during a police graduation ceremony at the Police Academy that Afghanistan was now a secure country and posed no threat to other nations.
‘Any existing challenges’
Haqqani further claimed that the commitments made during the Doha consultations, particularly that Afghan soil would not be used to threaten others, have been implemented.
He added that Afghanistan remains open to dialogue for resolving “any existing challenges”.
Haqqani said: “We have worked to fulfill our commitment that Afghanistan will not be a threat to other countries, and we continue to believe that any issues should be resolved through dialogue. The doors of Afghanistan are not closed.”
Return of refugees
The interim interior minister further claimed that the government continues to work on practical measures for the safe return of Afghan refugees from Pakistan, as well as addressing broader regional security and development challenges.
Meanwhile, the Administrative Deputy Minister of the Interior, Rahmatullah Najib, announced the graduation of nearly 900 new police academy cadets, stating that this will contribute to improved public safety and stability, Afghan media reported.
UNSC report
A United Nations Security Council (UNSC) report released this month has dismissed the Afghan Taliban’s claim that militant groups are not using Afghan territory for cross-border violence, calling the assertion “not credible” and warning that neighboring countries increasingly see Afghanistan as a source of regional insecurity due to ongoing operations by several armed groups based there.
The findings are included in the 16th report of the United Nations Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team, submitted to the United Nations Security Council under resolution 2763.
