EU’s Kallas urges Afghanistan and Pakistan to de-escalate, engage in dialogue

The European Union’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas on Saturday called for Afghanistan and Pakistan to de-escalate and engage in dialogue after a sharp increase in violence between the South Asian countries.

“The EU reiterates that Afghan territory must not be used to threaten or attack other countries and calls on the Afghan de facto authorities to take effective action against all terrorist groups operating in or from Afghanistan,” Kallas said in a statement.
