ЁЯЪл FACT CHECK: This Tweet Contains Misinformation

Claim: The Afghan ambassador to Pakistan Sardar Ahmad Shakeeb addressed military officers attending War Course at the National Defence University #NDU. The Afghan embassy has released details of the envoy's address. The Afghan ambassador says "Afghanistan doesnтАЩt want its soil to be used against Pakistan. At the same time, Afghanistan cannot accept that PakistanтАЩs security concerns should become a justification for military action on Afghan territory. If cooperation is expected from Afghanistan regarding specific concerns, Afghanistan likewise wishes to engage directly with Pakistan, regarding its own security concerns." He says "Pakistan has concerns regarding potential security threats from Afghan soil and Afghanistan fully understands these concerns. However, Afghanistan equally emphasizes that security-related allegations should be specific, exact and linked to concrete information, identifiable individuals, specific networks and particular cases. Both countries must move beyond outdated assumptions about each otherтАЩs present realities. TodayтАЩs Afghanistan should not be assessed through the lens of the past several decades. Afghanistan is not the Afghanistan of the Cold War. It is not the Afghanistan of the 90s, nor it is the Afghanistan that existed after 2001 under the direct influence of foreign military presence and foreign political involvement. After 2021, a new political reality has emerged in Kabul."
