Pakistan is accused of supporting the Taliban because it has fought the US-led government in Afghanistan for 20 years. Islamabad denies this. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said at a press conference on Thursday that as a neighboring country of Afghanistan, Pakistan has a responsibility to fight terrorism.

Last month, U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Brinken stated that after U.S. troops withdraw from Afghanistan, the country will reassess relations with Pakistan.

An official said that India is also worried that Pakistani terrorist organizations may also use Afghan territory to plan attacks. “There is a convergence of views on the existence of international terrorist organizations in Afghanistan and the threat that terrorism poses to Central Asia and India,” the official told Reuters.
