The United States is urging Afghanistan to take tougher measures against terrorism on its borders.

US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller emphasized the importance of Afghanistan fulfilling its commitment to prevent the use of its territory for terrorist activities.

“We are determined that Afghanistan will ensure that its territory is not used for terrorism again,” Miller said. He further emphasized the need for the Taliban to keep its anti-terror promises to the international community.

“It is clear that Afghanistan has a responsibility to prevent the establishment of safe havens for terrorist organizations,” Miller emphasized.
