Islamabad, October 29 (Xinhua) — The latest round of Pakistan-Afghan dialogue, held in Istanbul, "failed to produce any viable solution," Pakistan's Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Attaullah Tarar, said on Wednesday.

In a statement posted on social media platform X early Wednesday morning, the minister noted that Pakistan had repeatedly engaged with the Afghan Taliban authorities on the issue of cross-border terrorism involving groups such as the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and the Balochistan Liberation Army.

Pakistan has provided "sufficient and irrefutable evidence" of terrorist activities being carried out from Afghan soil, which has been acknowledged by the Afghan side and the host countries Qatar and Turkey, the statement said.

"The Afghan side continued to evade the main issue, avoiding the key moment that initiated the dialogue process. Instead of accepting responsibility, the Afghan Taliban resorted to blame shifting and distraction," noted A. Tarar.

Afghan officials have not yet responded to Pakistan's statement.
