In its statement, the Foreign Office (FO) reiterated strong condemnation of terrorism in all forms and manifestations, Radio Pakistan reported.
Pakistan is committed to working closely with the Afghan government and the international community in the fight against terrorism, the statement said.
The FO also extended heartfelt sympathies and condolences to Afghanistan, its people and the bereaved families on this occasion.
On Friday, Taliban attackers disguised in military uniforms killed 140 Afghan soldiers in what would be the deadliest attack ever on an Afghan military base, officials said.
The Afghan defence ministry said the toll of dead and/or injured was “over 100”. Another official in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif, where the attack happened, confirmed on Saturday at least 140 soldiers were killed and many others wounded.
Other officials said the toll was likely to be even higher. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Afghan government was yet to release exact casualty figures.
