Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, the spokesperson of Pakistan's Foreign Ministry, said that Islamabad discussed all issues of concern, including the terrorist threat and terrorist acts that emanate from Afghanistan with the Taliban.
Baloch added that the Taliban should assure Pakistan and the international community that Afghanistan's soil will not be used against this country.
In a press conference in Islamabad on Friday, Baloch urged the Taliban to act upon their commitments to prevent the activities of terrorist groups in Afghanistan.
In recent days, a wave of attacks has increased in various cities in Pakistan, which has caused concerns for Pakistani authorities.
In the past week, Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif has repeatedly criticised the Taliban for providing safe haven to terror groups in Afghanistan.
Khawaja Asif has also questioned the Taliban's claims that foreign terrorists are not present in Afghanistan.
Addressing the Taliban in Afghanistan, Khawaja Asif said that Pakistani Taliban members have been killed on a daily basis in Afghanistan. “Then, how can one say that TTP members are not present there,” he asked.
Following Pakistan's defence minister's harsh criticism of the Taliban, Asif Durrani, the country's special representative for Afghanistan affairs, travelled to Kabul for a three-day trip and met with several Taliban officials.
Pakistani media reported that the Taliban suggested Pakistan to resolve its problems with the Pakistani Taliban through dialogue. Some sources said that Pakistan has rejected the offer of the Afghan Taliban.
Meanwhile, Mawlawi Abdul Kabir, the Taliban's Deputy Prime Minister in a meeting with Pakistan's special representative for Afghanistan said that the group will not allow use of Afghanistan's soil against neighbouring countries, especially Pakistan.
