Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States Asad Majeed Khan says Islamabad looks forward to Taliban living up to their promises made to international community to uphold human rights and not allow Afghanistan’s territory to be used against any country.

In an interview with a Washington based TV channel, he said the signs from Kabul so far are encouraging, as Taliban are showing greater receptivity and demonstrating an interest in addressing the concerns of international community.

The Pakistani envoy said for now, it is very important to make sure that things do not fall apart and the situation does not become any more painful for the people of Afghanistan.

Responding to a question, he said Pakistan is working with international community and the extended “Troika”, including United States, Russia, and China, about the right time to recognize a government that emerges following the negotiations among Afghan parties.
