Statement of the Ministry of Defense regarding the recent assertion of the Pakistani Interior Minister

The Ministry of National Defense considers as provocative and baseless recent speeches of the Pakistani Interior Minister about the presence of (TTP) in Afghanistan and their possible attack inside Afghanistan.

It damages the good relations between the two neighboring and brotherly countries with such claims by Pakistani officials despite the existence of evidence indicating that the (TTP) centers are inside Pakistan.

We request that any concerns and problems should be resolved through understanding.

Afghanistan is not without its owner, as always, we are ready to defend the territorial integrity and independence of our homeland, and it is mentionable we have a better experience than anyone in defending and protecting our country.
