Pakistan reiterates its commitment to repatriating illegal Afghan immigrants in a lawful manner.

Authorities in Pakistan have responded by stating that the current operation is aimed at illegal immigrants and is being carried out in a responsible, open, and compliant manner with international standards.

Afghan citizens who possess legitimate documentation, like as Proof of Registration (PoR) cards, Afghan Citizen Cards (ACC), visas, or those listed for third-country resettlement, are exempt from repatriation, according to Deputy Commissioner Islamabad Irfan Nawaz Memon. “Our goal is to make sure that those without documentation are dealt with legally without interfering with those who are legally recognized,” he said.

The actions are part of a larger effort to maintain national security and guarantee lawful residency, officials stressed, and they are not directed at any particular population.

Through cooperation and understanding, the administration reaffirmed its commitment to building closer connections with Afghanistan. Officials asked everyone involved to
