We will not get involved in the border dispute between India and Pakistan

The border dispute between India and Pakistan has been going on for the past several years. This is their internal problem. Afghanistan will not involve in their disputes, Stanikzai made it clear. Stanikzai also clarified that they will not allow any country to use their land. No one will use Afghanistan for internal fighting. They can fight on their borders.
