KABUL, Oct ‌5 (Reuters) - ​Problems ​affecting relations between neighbours Afghanistan ‌and Pakistan can be ⁠resolved through dialogue ‌and diplomacy, Afghan Taliban ‌Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi said ​on Monday.

Pakistan's powerful military, instead of ⁠seeking political understanding, uses only ​military language in relations with Afghanistan, and ​Kabul considers ‌self-defence against any aggression to be ⁠its legitimate and undeniable right, he ⁠said.

Muttaqi's comments, made at an ​event in Russia, came at a time when military ‌tensions between the friends-turned-foes have ‌spiralled.
