The Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid:
We call on the people of Pakistan to push their officials not to continue on the path of war, but to engage in Afghanistan in a positive and constructive manner.
We also want the problems arising in the region to be solved peacefully and through dialogue and mutual understanding.
Our message to all countries in the region is that Afghanistan as a country in this region can serve as a bridge connecting the region.
If Afghanistan has a strong economy, it will have a positive impact on both security and the economy across the region.
