Taliban Marks 5th Anniversary With Call for Peace

According to a report by EFPA on August 15th, the Taliban government in Afghanistan issued a statement on the fifth anniversary of its rule, expressing its desire for peaceful coexistence with the world and calling on the outside world to stop any 'schemes' against Afghanistan.

The statement says, "Afghanistan hopes to live in peace and tranquility with all countries. It does not allow anyone to use Afghan territory against other nations. Afghanistan also calls on other countries not to participate in any plots against Afghanistan, and to respect our territory, airspace, and interests."

Reports indicate that in the past year, the Afghan Taliban has gradually increased its diplomatic openness.

In the statement, the Afghan Taliban described taking power on August 15, 2021 as "a great victory and a liberation from foreign oppression".

On the day of the declaration, a grand event was held in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the end of the Afghan War.

In recent years, terrorist attacks have occurred frequently in Afghanistan, and conflicts with neighboring Pakistan are also frequent. In a statement commemorating its fifth anniversary in power, the Afghan Taliban promised that their territory would never be used to attack other countries in response to Pakistan.
