Islamabad [Pakistan], December 16 (ANI): Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan asked the international community to engage with the Taliban whose foreign assets have been frozen.

Earlier, Imran Khan said that humanitarian organisations wishing to work from Pakistan to support efforts in Afghanistan should be facilitated and that Islamabad had already committed to being the air and land bridge for humanitarian support to Kabul.

However, despite Imran Khan's appeal, the latest report of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs on Afghanistan shows concern about "conditional humanitarianism" or attempts to "leverage" humanitarian assistance for political purposes implying Pakistan's motives.
