Decline in regional support for Pakistan's new positions in Afghanistan Pakistan reported that Russia and Central Asian countries continue to expand ties with the Taliban, as Pakistan's efforts to win regional support for the activities of armed groups in Afghanistan, particularly the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), received limited support. Amjad Bashir Siddiqui, who reviewed the eighth meeting in the Moscow format on Afghanistan, wrote that the countries of the region did not make Islamabad's security concerns the main basis for regulating their relations with the Taliban regime. Russia has expanded diplomatic cooperation with Kabul since officially recognizing the Taliban. However, the allegations made by the Taliban government representative about Pakistan's support for al-Qaeda and Daesh in Khorasan did not receive widespread support at the Moscow meeting, the report added.
