support for peace and stability in Afghanistan and said that both countries have many commercial, cultural and religious commonalities that
need to be strengthened and relations between the two countries should be expanded.&The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan values relations with
Pakistan and wants to have good ties with the country,& said Mujahid. &Cooperation between the two countries should expand because we have
commonalities in trade, language, culture and religion, which need support and the Islamic Emirate is also committed,& he said. However,
experts believe that Pakistan is playing a two-face policy towards Afghanistan.&Pakistan&s policies in Afghanistan always have two sides,
one is its very soft talk, the other is behind its destruction,& said Rahmatullah Hassan, a political analyst.&Pakistan is a country that
always wants Afghanistan to have no government, no system, no economy, and no foreign policy,& he stressed. Reports about the presence of
Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants in Afghanistan are among Islamabad&s recent concerns
Pakistan authorities have in recent months claimed TTP has planned its recent attacks from Afghanistan

meanwhile has rejected Pakistan&s claim, saying that Afghanistan was not a threat to any country.The post IEA ‘values its ties& with
