KABUL, 07 August 2021, (TON): Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Afghanistan to the United Nations Ghulam M Isaczai said “Pakistan should help Afghanistan in ‘dismantling’ the Taliban for peace to prosper in the war-torn country.
The Afghan ambassador's comments came during an open meeting of the United Nations Security Council on the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan.
The discussion was requested by the Afghan government, as well as Norway and Estonia. The Security Council last met on Afghanistan in June, but the situation in the conflict-ridden country has rapidly worsened since then.
The peace talks that had started between Taliban and the Afghan government last year in Doha, Qatar have not made significant progress, as the war continues.
Isaczai, who represented Foreign Minister Haneef Atmar in the meeting, said the Taliban had launched brutal attacks which had caused further instability in the country.
"It is our job to stop it."
