🎙Statement by Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the Afghan-Pakistani agreements (October 20, 2025)

💬 We welcome the agreement reached between Kabul and Islamabad – with the mediation of the authorities of Qatar and Türkiye – on a mutual ceasefire and cessation of hostilities along the Afghan-Pakistani border.

The commitment of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to dialogue and to resolving differences by political and diplomatic means serves as the foundation for maintaining peace between these two countries, which are friendly to us, and as an important factor in ensuring regional security.

We call on Kabul and Islamabad to further expand their cooperation, including in the field of counterterrorism.
