Acting Deputy Information Minister of Afghanistan and Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid on Sunday appreciated Pakistan for supporting Afghanistan before the international community.
In an interview with Pakistan Television, he said that Pakistan has been vocal and urged the world community to engage with Afghanistan.
"Pakistan is a neighbour and Afghanistan is thankful for Pakistan’s stance regarding Afghanistan," the Taliban's top spokesperson added.

He said that Afghanistan wants good relations with the international community and desires to expand trade and economic ties. “We hope that neighbouring countries will continue to extend support to Afghanistan before the international community.”
The minister said that many countries have raised "voices in our favour before the international community and the United States".
Qatar, Uzbekistan and other countries have also adopted a positive stance towards Afghanistan, he said, adding six days back China and Russia talked in our favour at the United Nations General Assembly.

"The relations of Afghanistan with its neighbours and the international community are important," he noted.
Zabihullah also said that the war had ended in Panjshir and “we do not desire war with anybody”. "Time had come that the Afghan nation should work for the progress and prosperity of Afghanistan."
After peace in Afghanistan, he said, the new regime's priority is to expand trade with other countries.
The Taliban spokesperson warned that if any group would attack Afghanistan or would fight with the government, action would be taken.
He said Afghanistan would be further connected by road to Peshawar and different cities of Pakistan.
To a question, he said the desecration of the Pakistani flag at the Afghan border was an unfortunate incident and assured that action would be taken against anybody who would damage relations between Islamabad and Kabul.
To another query, Zabihullah said that if an invitation is extended to Afghan leadership for a visit to Pakistan, it would be considered.
The Afghan government condemned the human rights violations in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), he added.
"The Afghan government would continue to provide diplomatic and political support to oppressed Muslims in different parts of the world," he concluded.
