“The U.S. has begun a process to form regional projects that Pakistan and Afghanistan have special positions in this scenario, in other words, they want to get the south of Asia to face a new series of developments and to make changes to it,” he noted.
The news coming out of the Taliban is not so good, he said, adding that the Taliban is facing serious problems toward being recognized at the regional and world level, so there is a possibility that they will put new scenarios on their agenda.
