NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Pakistan has a "special responsibility" to aid Afghanistan not only because of the geography of the nations but also due to the close relationship they have with the Taliban.
Jens Stoltenberg said during a NATO briefing that Pakistan needed to get involved and help the situation in Afghanistan due to their close relationship with the Taliban. Analysts have suggested Pakistan has been providing supplies and support for the Taliban with the United Nations Security Council choosing to exclude Pakistan from Afghanistan discussions due to their suspicions. Mr Stoltenberg called out the country, demanding it does more to help the region, as Pakistan bolsters its borders and makes asylum applications more tricker to complete.
During a conference, Mr Stolenberg said Pakistan has a responsibility for what happens to Afghanistan in the future as the rest of the world prepares for another refugee crisis following the Taliban takeover.
He said: “I think what is important now is that whatever new government we will get in Kabul, this is an inclusive government.
“And everything that can help to support such a process I think is helpful.
