Hamdullah Fitrat, deputy spokesperson for the Taliban, said on Tuesday that Russia, China, the European Union and the United Kingdom had contacted the group in efforts to end the war.
Fitrat warned, however, that as long as Pakistan continues its attacks on Afghan territory, Taliban operations would also continue.
He described Pakistan as the initiator of the conflict, saying the war was not the Taliban’s choice and that Pakistan had begun the aggression.
Fitrat said regional countries should press Pakistan to bring the war to an end.
He also called on international human rights organisations to condemn Pakistan’s military strikes.
