Pakistan is in no hurry to recognise the Afghan Taliban government, and any decision will be made keeping the country’s interest in mind, officials here have said.

The remarks came days after Russia became the first country to officially recognise the Taliban’s rule. Moscow’s decision, some observers feel, may be a prelude to other regional countries finally embracing the Taliban.

In any case, the source said, Pakistan has a robust engagement with the Taliban ruled Kabul. “The de facto recognition is there,” the source said.

Last month, after a trilateral meeting of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Chinese Foreign Ministers in Beijing, Islamabad and Kabul decided to elevate their diplomatic ties.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
