The Islamic Emirate has once again rejected claims that Afghanistan poses a security threat to neighboring countries, insisting that it will not allow Afghan territory to be used against any nation.

The statement comes after members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization expressed concerns about the presence of armed groups near Afghanistan's northern borders, warning that the situation could present challenges to regional security.

Responding to those concerns, Hamdullah Fitrat, Deputy Spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, dismissed the allegations as unfounded.

"We consider these claims that Afghanistan poses a threat to other countries to be baseless," Fitrat said. "Afghanistan is not a danger to any country. Since the Islamic Emirate came to power, nationwide security has been ensured, and all security and defense forces operate under a unified command."

He added that the authorities do not permit any individual or armed group to use Afghan territory as a base for activities targeting neighboring states.

"No individual or group is allowed to use Afghan territory against other countries or engage in armed activities," he said.

The remarks follow recent statements by CSTO member states, which have voiced concern over alleged militant activity along Afghanistan's northern frontier and called for continued vigilance regarding regional security.

However, Afghan officials maintain that security conditions inside the country have improved significantly since the Islamic Emirate assumed power and argue that concerns about Afghanistan serving as a source of regional instability are misplaced.

Commenting on the issue, former Afghan diplomat to Russia Ghaus Janbaz said there appears to be a contradiction in the approach taken by some regional countries.

"On the one hand, the political institutions and foreign ministries of these countries speak of engaging with Afghanistan's caretaker administration and expanding economic and trade relations," he said. "On the other hand, their security, military and intelligence institutions continue to raise concerns about security threats and the presence of terrorist groups in Afghanistan. This indicates that there has been no fundamental change in their policies."

Political analysts also argue that Afghanistan's stability is closely linked to the broader security of Central and South Asia, emphasizing that any security concerns should be addressed through dialogue, intelligence cooperation, and diplomatic engagement rather than public accusations.

Islamic Emirate officials have repeatedly stated that they remain committed to preventing Afghan territory from being used to threaten other countries and have pledged to uphold security commitments toward neighboring states.

The administration maintains that preserving internal stability and fostering constructive relations with regional countries remain key priorities, while reiterating that Afghanistan seeks peaceful cooperation and does not intend to allow its territory to become a source of insecurity for the region.
