The Afghan acting minister Assadullah Khalid delivered the remarks in his trip to eastern Laghman province.
With peace negotiations apparently close, the Taliban insurgents have increased attacks, said acting minister Khalid, killing dozens of Afghan government forces.
He underscored that no part of the country will be fallen into the Taliban hands.
It comes as the Taliban insurgents on Saturday named a 21-member delegation led by Mawlawi Abdul Hakim for peace talks with the Afghan government.
Earlier last week, the Afghan State Ministry for Peace Affairs announced it had made all logistical preparations ahead of peace talks, and the government negotiators would leave for Doha very soon to begin the much-delayed talks with the Taliban.
The government negotiators, according to sources, were set to fly to Qatar on Thursday, but the travel was postponed as reportedly the Taliban’s negotiating team wasn’t ready.
When they travel to the Qatari capital of Doha and start the talks, however, remains unclear.
