The ruling political movement of Afghanistan, the Taliban*, denies having any ties with Tehreek-e-Taliban-e-Pakistan (TTP**), which opposes the governments of India and Pakistan and seeks control over parts of their territory.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The current Afghan government has reaffirmed its commitments to Pakistan in terms of security and fight against cross-border terrorism, Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said on Thursday.
"We have received some assurances and have held some important consultations with the Afghan authorities. We hope that the Afghan interim government will fulfill the commitments that it has made to Pakistan in terms of security," Baloch said, as quoted by Pakistani newspaper Dawn.
She added that Kabul and Islamabad had certain mechanisms in place to discuss various security issues, the media outlet reported.

"We will continue to engage with them to ensure that the Afg­han authorities fulfill the commitments that they have made to Pakistan that Afghan territory will not be used to des­t­a­bilise or to threaten Pakistan's security," the Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokeswoman reportedly said.
Baloch's statement came after a series of terrorist incidents in Pakistan, which are believed to have been organized by the TTP terrorist group, according to the news outlet. A recent incident — a car explosion that killed one police officer and injured four others — took place earlier on Thursday.
