Pakistan’s close links with the Taliban and the Haqqani Network have been on full display since the Taliban returned to power in Kabul. The top official of the ISI was in Kabul at the time the Taliban were to announce a caretaker government.

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has been batting for the new regime and appealed to the world community in his address to the UN General Assembly last week to legitimise the regime and said it would be a “win-win situation” for everyone if the world community “incentivises them, and encourages them” to deliver on their promise to form an inclusive government, protect basic rights of all Afghans including women, children and minorities, and prevent their territory from being used by terror groups.
