Afghanistan’s Defense Ministry confirmed on Saturday that a high-level delegation from the Islamic Emirate led by the Taliban regime’s Defense Minister Maulvi Muhammad Yacob Mujahid has reached Doha for talks with the Pakistani side. There is great tension between Afghanistan and Pakistan these days. In such a situation, this visit is considered important to resolve the issue through dialogue between the two sides. Pakistan carried out major airstrikes with military force in many areas of Kabul. Many civilians, including children and women, were killed in this airstrike. According to reports, around 200 Afghans were killed in the attacks by Pakistan, while around 60 Pakistani soldiers were also killed.
