KABUL, Jan. 08 – The Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Alhaj Mullah Muhammad Hassan Akhund, held a meeting with Maulana Fazlur Rahman and his delegation from Pakistan’s Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Party at the Charchinar Palace of the ARG.

The Chief Justice of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Sheikh-ul-Hadith Mawlawi Abdul Hakim Haqqani, Foreign Minister Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi, Minister of Irshad Hajj and Endowments Sheikh-ul-Hadith Mawlawi Noor Muhammad Saqib, and other cabinet members also participated in the meeting. Various topics were discussed with the Pakistani scholars’ delegation.

 

The Prime Minister warmly welcomed the Pakistani scholars’ delegation and expressed optimism that the visit would strengthen brotherhood and positive relations between the two neighboring countries and their peoples, stating that Afghanistan and Pakistan share numerous commonalities across different domains and cannot be separated from each other.

The Prime Minister emphasized that the Islamic system, led by scholars, governs Afghanistan, with all matters being subject to Sharia law. He asserted that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has no intention to harm or create problems for any neighboring country, including Pakistan, and will not tolerate any threats to its territory.

The Prime Minister highlighted the crucial and positive role of scholars in resolving issues between the two countries and eliminating misunderstandings. He also urged the Pakistani authorities to cease their harsh treatment of Afghan refugees, as such actions only breed opposition and pessimism without solving the problems at hand.

Foreign Minister Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi addressed the problems faced by Afghan refugees and traders, particularly the challenges posed by Pakistani officials in transit and exports, which result in significant financial losses for Afghan traders annually. He emphasized that trade and economic transactions between the two countries should not be overshadowed by political issues.

 

Maulana Fazlur Rahman, the leader of the Jamiat Ulema Islam Party, on behalf of the delegation, hailing the Islamic Emirate’s victory against the occupation as a significant achievement and congratulating the people of Afghanistan. He expressed hope for the stability of the Islamic system in Afghanistan, which would positively impact the entire Islamic world.

He stated, “Our visit to Afghanistan aims to address misunderstandings in the bilateral relations between the two countries and explore avenues for cooperation in political affairs, economy, trade, and mutual development.”

 

Maulana Fazlur Rahman expressed, “The Jamiat Ulema Islam Party has raised its voice in protest against the treatment of Afghan refugees by the Pakistani authorities. We consider this attitude to be incorrect and a source of problems between the two nations. Our visit carries a message of goodwill, and we hope it will yield positive outcomes.”

 

During the meeting, both sides emphasized the importance of jointly finding solutions to all issues and avoiding actions that exacerbate problems.
