After the Taliban rule in Afghanistan, the Pakistan government is trying to be its guide on every issue. But, the Taliban are giving him shocks on every issue. After airport, security, now Taliban has rejected Pakistan's offer on the issue of bilateral trade. The Imran government of Pakistan had said that it is ready to trade in Pakistani rupees from Afghanistan. The Taliban have denied this, saying that they will take decisions based on their own interests, as it is also a question of respect for them.
Recently, Pakistan's Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin said in Parliament and outside that he wants strong business relations with the new regime of Afghanistan and wants to use Pakistan's currency for this. Tarin also said that both countries can use this currency to improve the economic situation. The Taliban responded after three days of silence.
Taliban leader and Ahmadullah Wasik told the news agency- We want to make it clear that mutual business will be done only in our currency i.e. Afghanis. We value our identity and will maintain it. There can be no compromise with this.
Shaukat Tarin said last week – Afghanistan still has a problem with dollars. The US has blocked $9 billion of its funds. So it would be better if Afghanistan and we together do business in Pakistani Rupee. For this, the method of converting currency can be adopted. Tarin's proposal was welcomed by Pakistani businessmen.
In August, the value of the Pakistani rupee was close to Rs 164 against the dollar. Now it is almost 169. Some experts believe that a lot of things come to Pakistan from Afghanistan through smuggling and due to this the economy suffers.
A few days ago, Pakistan had offered to remodel the Kabul airport and start its operations. The Taliban did not give any attention to Pakistan. After this, Pakistan offered help to the Taliban in administration. The Taliban rejected this offer saying that it would work according to its own accord.
Pakistan's senior journalist Aaliya Shah had recently said on her YouTube channel that the Taliban are working very thoughtfully. They feel that if they are seen more with Pakistan, then due to this the western countries can back down in giving them financial help.
