Interior Ministry Spokesperson Says Afghanistan Maintains Strategic Ties with Neighbors

Abdul Matin Qaneh, spokesperson for the Interior Ministry of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, stated that the country maintains strategic relations with the majority of its neighboring states. He emphasized that border security is effectively managed and noted that no neighboring governments have raised formal security complaints regarding cross-border incidents.

Qaneh acknowledged ongoing challenges with one neighboring country but indicated that diplomatic discussions are actively underway to resolve the outstanding issues. He reiterated that the ministry’s border management protocols are being strictly enforced and that existing coordination mechanisms remain fully operational to prevent unauthorized crossings.

Political analysts observed that sustained diplomatic outreach and a transparent presentation of security operations are essential for building long-term regional trust. They noted that consistent engagement with neighboring capitals, alongside clear communication of border policies, will be critical to addressing lingering concerns and fostering broader economic cooperation.

Regional security bodies, including the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Collective Security Treaty Organization, have consistently highlighted that Afghanistan’s internal stability remains a cornerstone of broader regional security. Officials and regional observers continue to track cross-border coordination efforts as diplomatic channels remain open for further dialogue on shared security priorities.
