Interim Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi on Friday expressed the hope that talks between Pakistan and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) would bear “positive” results and noted that some progress in this regard had been made. "There have been some positive improvements and we are hopeful for a positive outcome of the talks," he added. The talks are reportedly being brokered by the Taliban government in Afghanistan. According to Muttaqi, the Taliban regime demanded trade access to the Wagah border, Karachi and Gwadar ports to boost commercial activities. "But this does not mean that Taliban are not open to talks on contentious issues," he added.
