On Thursday, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar announced in a decisive tone at the graduation ceremony of hundreds of special forces commandos of the Ministry of National Defense in Kabul that the Islamic Emirate will give a crushing response to any foreign aggression.
“In this ceremony, which was accompanied by a display of air maneuvers and tactical operations by the command and accompanying forces, Mullah Baradar emphasized that our land and territory should not be looked upon with a negative eye and that the patience of the Afghans should not be tested. We will not allow anyone to encroach on our land and we are ready to respond to any encroachment. We are committed to respecting borders and establishing reciprocal relations with every country.”
He called the establishment of the current Islamic system “the result of the sacrifices of the martyrs” and considered protecting the country’s borders and territorial integrity to be the fundamental responsibility of the security forces.
