Unlike his other secret visits, his first visit to Kabul had hit news headlines when he had rushed to sort out the internal disputes among Taliban leaders over their government formation. After getting the lion&rsquo;s share for the pro-Pakistani Haqqani militants in the Taliban government, he had remarked &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry, everything will be ok.&rdquo;</p>

The meetings will focus on ways to enhance bilateral relations and cooperation in various fields, say Taliban officials. The visit is taking place after the recent meeting of officials from China, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Russia in Moscow and ahead of an upcoming meeting of foreign ministers of neighbours of Afghanistan plus Russia in Tehran next week.</p>
<p>
So far the Taliban have failed to win recognition for their government. The United Nations and the international community have told them to prioritize the ensure basic human rights and to establish a truly inclusive government for lasting peace.</p>
<p>
It is believed that several Taiban ministers, leaders and commanders are not happy with Pakistan for &ldquo;interfering&rdquo; too much in Afghan&rsquo;s internal affairs.</p>
<p>
&ldquo;We do not give anyone the right to interfere in our internal matters, if someone deliberately tries to interfere, we also possess the right to interfere in their internal matters,&rdquo; said one Taliban minister.</p>
<p>
One Taliban general Commander Mobeen called Imran Khan a puppet and raised questions about the legitimacy of his position as Prime Minister. &ldquo;Imran Khan did not come to power owing to public consensus, he is called a &lsquo;puppet&rsquo; inside Pakistan,&rdquo; he told the Afghan Ariana news.</p>
<p>
There have been tensions reported on the Pakistan and Afghanistan border along the Durand Line. Islamabad has not allowed hundreds of trucks loaded with pomegranates to enter into Pakistan.</p>
