Pakistan minister says they can send people to Kabul. To help in various affairs
Pakistan minister of finance Shaukat Tarin said Pakistan will trade with Afghanistan in Pakistani rupees as there’s a crunch of dollars in Kabul.
Pakistan minister of finance Shaukat Tarin on Thursday said people might be sent from Pakistan to run various affairs in Afghanistan as he was addressing a session of the Senate committee during which he also talked about the longer term framework of trade between Pakistan and Afghanistan, several Pakistani media, including Geo TV, reported.
The comment comes amid several Pakistani ministers speaking in favour of the Taliban. While countries are buying time to make a decision on whether to recognise the interim Taliban government in Afghanistan, Pakistan ministers are pressing for continued co-operation with Afghanistan. Pakistan’s secretary of state Shah Mehmood Qureshi said on Thursday that Afghanistan’s assets should be unfrozen in order that they will be used, Reuters reported.

The Pakistan minister also said that Pakistan will trade with Afghanistan within the Pakistani currency as Kabul is facing a shortage of dollars.
