The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has voiced deep concern over escalating tensions between Pakistan and India, warning that further conflict could destabilize the region and serve no nation’s interests.

In an official statement released on Thursday, the Afghan government called for restraint from both sides, urging India and Pakistan to resolve their disputes through dialogue and diplomacy. “The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan believes peace is the only path forward,” the statement declared, emphasizing that regional security and stability benefit all nations.

The ministry encouraged both countries to “prioritize wisdom over confrontation” and pursue lasting solutions through peaceful means to avoid worsening the crisis. The statement comes as tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors continue to rise, prompting international calls for de-escalation.

Afghanistan’s appeal underscores the broader regional implications of the conflict, with the government positioning itself as an advocate for stability in South Asia. (ILKHA)
