The Foreign Office said on Thursday that the Torkham border was only temporarily reopened, as the two sides would have further negotiations to get a “permanent system” that would ensure trouble -free operation at the key limitation.

The limit was opened again Wednesday after he remained closed for 26 days. It was closed on February 21, after a dispute arose over a check -in, the Afghan side built on Pakistani territory.

The decision to reopen the key transition came as a result of a number of Jirgas and a flag meeting between the two officials.

But spokesman for the Foreign Office stated that the current arrangement would only be intended for the next few weeks.

“Torkham has opened yesterday and I think tomorrow will also be allowed. So the current event has reached through mutual consultations and this is a good, positive development that is up to April 15,” Shafqat Ali Khan told a weekly news briefing.

“At that time, we expect further negotiations and consultations to be held to get a permanent system that could secure the continuous operation of the Torkham boundary seamlessly,” he added.

Official sources said both sides still needed to sort the problems. According to the sources, Pakistan wanted permanent guarantees that the Afghan side would not again construct any structure on the border without properly consulting the other side.

The border was opened again to ease the pressure and give stranded trucks and people the opportunity to fit between the two countries.

The Foreign Office spokesman suggested that the limit could be closed again if the problems were not sorted by April 15.

Nevertheless, the spokesman said the reopening of the border was a positive development that added, “We will make it sustainable and permanent.”

The spokesman made it clear that Pakistan would not extend the deadline for repatriating all Afghan citizen card owners. All such Afghans have been given until 31 March time to leave Pakistan or face deportation.

In terms of not consulting the UNHCR, the spokesman clarified that Pakistan was not bound to consult the UNHCR. “We are not obliged to consult the UNHCR. First, Pakistan is not a member of the Refugee Convention. So everything we have done for the Afghan refugees was voluntarily done for the past 50 years. So with regard to international obligations we have fulfilled more than our share by offering this kind of hospitality to Afghans and we continue to welcome them.”

“But they should have Pakistani Visa on their passports, and then they will be more than welcome. There is also a large body of Afghans living here with proper documentation,” he added.

Shafqat also confirmed that the Afghan CD’A was called to the Foreign Office earlier this week to register a protest over the use of Afghan Earth in the recent terrorist attacks.

“This is part of the routine diplomatic activity. We do not advertise it in the media. There is a regular interaction between the embassies based in Islamabad and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is a regular activity. So no exception or unusual about it. We have to keep it in mind,” he said.

The spokesman said Pakistan had conveyed his concerns to Afghanistan consistently. “For example, the special representative, Ambassador Sadiq is also actively in contact. So our attitude to this question has been consistently transferred to Afghan authorities through a series of channels. In fact, terror threat against Pakistan is from terrorist units, including TTP, among others, and ISKP, our main concern.”

“We continue to impress for preliminary authorities to take visible and verifiable acts against them, keeping an eye on their obligations given to the international community to conduct terrorist infrastructure and groups from the Afghan Earth,” he said.

India

The Foreign Office reiterated that India’s fictional tale of victim could not hide his commitment to inducing terrorism on Pakistan’s land and the state -sanctioned oppression of the Native American who is occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

The Foreign Office spokesman said that Indian commitment to fanning terrorism in Pakistan and destabilizing Balochistan was clear.

With reference to Indian involvement in global murder diagrams, he said that India had not only sponsored such illegal activities throughout the region.

“Instead of accusing others, India should reflect on his own list of orchestration of targeted assaults, undermining and terrorism in foreign territories,” he noted, pointing out that India had not condemned the recent attack on Jaffar Express in Balochistan.

The spokesman said Pakistan was alarmed by the increased frequency of Indian leadership’s unjustified claims about Jammu and Kashmir.

He said it was India that took Jammu and the Kashmir question to the United Nations in 1948, so it had no right to blame the Security Council and its former members for the decisions subsequently adopted.

“Repeating baseless claims cannot deny the fact that Jammu and Kashmir are an internationally recognized disputed territory whose final status is to be determined by its people through a non-monitored plebiscite as determined in the relevant UN security council solutions.”

Repeating Pakistan’s advocate for constructive commitment and results -oriented dialogue to solve all outstanding problems, including the core conflict of Jammu and Kashmir, he said that peace and stability in South Asia had remained hostage to India’s stiff approach and hegemonic ambitions.

“The Anti-Pakistan narrative that originates from India distinguishes the bilateral environment and hinders the prospects of peace and cooperation. It must stop,” he noted.

He was asked to comment on the reports of visits to some Pakistani individuals to Israel, and he said the Foreign Ministry had nothing to do with it when the information about the case was gathered.

However, he categorically explained that Pakistan’s attitude to the recognition of Israel and the rights of the Palestinian people were unshakable and unchanged.

With regard to the inclusion of Pakistani nationals in certain visa -limitation categories, the spokesman said both the state of the state and the foreign office had rejected the speculative reports on social media.

He condemned Israel’s vicious attack on the Population of the West Bank and Gaza and called it an obvious violation of the ceasefire agreement; International Humanitarian Law; FN -Charter; And inhibits self -confidence and belief in global society and international law.
