Bakhtar News Agency, under the control of the Taliban, announced the holding of a meeting on border protection in the presence of Mullah Yaqoob Mujahid, the group's defence minister.
According to the report, the meeting discussed border protection, prevention of smuggling, and protection of Afghanistan's territorial integrity.
The report, published on Wednesday, January 8, said that the protection of Afghanistan's borders was discussed during a meeting of the Central Commission for Security and Clearance Affairs, led by the Taliban's defence minister.
The details of the talks have not yet been announced, but the meeting follows Pakistan's recent airstrike on Paktika province.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid had claimed that at least 46 people, including several women and children, were killed in Pakistani airstrikes in December in Barmal district of Paktika.
After these attacks, tensions on the border increased, and the Afghan Taliban attacked the border posts of Pakistani forces.
