Foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has urged the Afghan authorities to take action against the terrorists targeting the civilians and armed forces of Pakistan.

“We have demanded from the interim government of Afghanistan to not let its soil used for terrorism in other countries and they should stop such acts,” he said.

Pakistan is ready to work with the Afghan government to collectively take measures to eradicate terrorism in both countries, Bilawal said while addressing a ceremony at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad after launching ‘Digitised system under Foreign Minister’s Change Management Reforms’.

“Our preference will be that we want the Afghan interim government to abide by the Doha Agreement and take action against terrorists who target the armed forces of Pakistan,” he added.

“If they need any help, then I think Pakistan should be prepared to help them,” Bilawal stated.

The foreign minister went on to add that the weapons left by the American and North Atlantic Treaty Organisation forces after the fall of Kabul are now being used by the terrorists, criminal gangs and dacoits in the riverine area of Sindh.

“The terrorism and law-and-order incidents have been on rise across the country. We know that these incidents recorded an increased in Pakistan after the fall of Kabul,” he said.
