Story summary

Information Minister Attaullah Tarar of Pakistan urged Afghanistan's interim Taliban government to "move out of its militant mindset" during a seminar in Islamabad, highlighting the strained relations between the two neighbors due to cross-border militancy. Tarar emphasized that Afghanistan must shift from a militant approach to one of statecraft to resolve ongoing conflicts. The relationship between Pakistan and Afghanistan has been turbulent, with recent tensions escalating over alleged use of Afghan territory for terrorist activities against Pakistan. In response to these issues, Pakistan reportedly conducted "calibrated" airstrikes near the border, killing 28 terrorists, including suicide bombers. Tarar stressed that finding a long-term solution is crucial as both nations remain neighbors and share borders despite historical conflicts.
