Pakistan Suspends Ties With Afghanistan After Border Clashes: Pakistan Defence Minister
11:29 14.10.2025 (Updated: 11:35 14.10.2025) Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said on Monday that there are currently "no ties" between Islamabad and Kabul following Afghanistan's unprovoked attack on the Pak-Afghan border over the weekend, Dawn reported.
"It's a stalemate right now. You can say there are no active hostilities, but the environment is hostile. There are no ties, direct or indirect, as of today," Khawaja Asif said.
The defence minister said that hostilities between the two countries could resume "at any time," adding that "we cannot lower our guard."
When asked about the possibility of negotiations, Asif said that dialogue under threats was not acceptable. "If Afghanistan wants negotiations while threatening Pakistan at the same time, then they should act on their threats and we'll negotiate after," he said.
