Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has stated that Russia will continue to strengthen its engagement with Afghanistan, underlining the importance of cooperation for regional stability, a media report said on Wednesday.

The Ministry of Interior (MoI) has rejected a report claiming its spokesman spoke about contacts with defence and intelligence institutions of Russia, China, the United States and Europe against terrorist groups.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) chief spokesman has stressed that problems between Afghanistan and Pakistan should be resolved through dialogue, saying the Tahreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) was an internal matter of Islamabad to address.
