When asked about the possibility of elections, Muttaqi demanded other countries not interfere in Afghanistanâs internal issues.
Under a deal reached last year with the United States, the Taliban promised to break ties with al-Qaida and other militant groups and ensure they donât threaten other countries from its territory.
Asked about the deal, Mottaqi replied, âWe will not allow anyone or any groups to use our soil against any other countriesâ â the first time a member of the government has confirmed its commitment to the promise.
