Afghanistan demands Pakistan stop violations of its land and air border in draft peace proposal

Istanbul [Turkiye], October 27 (ANI): After about 15 hours of discussions, the delegations of Afghanistan and Pakistan have presented a draft proposal to each other in an effort to reach a consensus on the peace talks. The Afghanistani side has demanding that no violation of its airspace and land border should occur and demanding that Pakistan not allow 'opposition groups' to use Pakistani territory 'against Afghanistan', Tolo news reported, quoting sources.
On the second day of negotiations between the delegations of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and Pakistan, both sides, with the mediators present, attempted to reach a final agreement.
Tolo News quoted an international relations expert, Wahid Faqiri, who expressed confidence in a lasting peace agreement if it were finalised.
"If the negotiations between Afghanistan and Pakistan in Turkey result in a general agreement, and both countries agree to de-escalate tensions along the Durand Line and cooperate in other areas, in my view, such an agreement could last for several months," Faqiri said, according to Tolo news.
According to the source, the draft proposal from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan was delivered to the Pakistani delegation through mediators, and Pakistan has also submitted its own second draft to the Islamic Emirate.
Tolo News mentioned that the Pakistani media have characterised Pakistan's proposals as "countering infiltration and planned attacks from Afghan territory."
According to a political affairs analyst, Asad Atal, "Pakistan's claims and demands are baseless. Afghanistan poses no threat to anyone and harbours no ill intentions toward any country in the world."
