(TTP)) in Afghanistan.In an interview with BBC Persian, Muttaqi said: &In our opinion, this is an accusation
We have never supported them (Pakistani Taliban)
TTP is not a modern movement; It has a long history
Its activities are carried out inside Pakistan.Muttaqi added that Pakistan should refrain from actions that harm the relations between the
two countries and that Islamabad does not have any evidence to show that Afghan soil has been used against Pakistan.As long as it is
Afghanistan&s responsibility, it has fulfilled its duty,& he stated.He added that the Islamic Emirate&s political relations with the world
are expanding and they have relations with some countries and they want Western countries to interact with Kabul.He, however, stressed that

uniform.Meanwhile, Pakistan&s Chief of Staff has asked the IEA not to favor TTP over its long-time neighbor and brother.In addition, Muttaqi

has been given to the acting government.He added that although countries have not recognized the Islamic Emirate, Afghanistan&s economic
