IEA welcomes British MP’s call to reopen UK’s embassy in Kabul
Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs Amir Khan Muttaqi on Monday welcomed UK MP Tobias Ellwood’s call for the reopening of Britain’s embassy in Kabul and engagement with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA).
Addressing the graduation ceremony of students from the Diplomacy Institute at the Foreign Ministry, Muttaqi claimed that the protests against the Islamic Emirate have ended and the world is considering engagement with it.
“The era of pressure, coercion, withdrawal of cadres, pressure on the banking system, propaganda, demonstrations and conspiracies to discredit has ended,” Muttaqi said.
He added that some countries and international organizations that had negative views about the Islamic Emirate are now moving towards a positive interaction.
In a separate ceremony, Muttaqi claimed that some countries are calling for an inclusive government in Afghanistan, but in reality, the government in Afghanistan is more inclusive than theirs.
Speaking at an exhibition, Muttaqi emphasized that despite sanctions, Afghanistan’s economic situation is good.
He called on domestic and foreign investors to invest in Afghanistan with confidence as the Islamic Emirate ensures their security.
Recently, Tobias Ellwood, who is also the chairman of the defense select committee in the UK parliament, said he has witnessed real progress in Afghanistan and believes it is now time to start negotiating with the IEA.
Ellwood also called for the reopening of the British embassy in Kabul.
The Japanese ambassador in Kabul, Takayoshi Kuromiya, met Saturday with Sader Azam Osmani, the Deputy of the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock.
According to a statement from the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock, the meeting discussed Japan’s cooperation in these areas.
The Ministry of Refugees and Repatriations (MoRR) held Saturday an emergency meeting in Kabul attended by the humanitarian aid coordinator of the International Organization for Migration to instantly address the needs of recent flood victims in Baghlan province.
The ministry quoted Abdul Rahman Rahmani, head of the assistance coordination of the ministry, as saying that the goal of the meeting was to provide emergency assistance to flood victims and how to consider first aid.
According to reports, intense floods in Baghlan’s many districts have left hundreds of dead and injured.
The ministry stated that hundreds of houses have been destroyed and people are living in open space in the mountains.
Meanwhile, the ministry added that the figures are not yet final and the process of rescue operations is still ongoing with the cooperation of health teams.
At the meeting, Mohammad Omar Hashemi, the humanitarian aid coordinator of the International Organization for Migration, also assured that the organization is ready to provide urgent aid to the victims.
The World Food Programme (WFP) said on Friday it can only support one in every three malnourished children across Afghanistan, highlighting the shortage of funding.
WFP said on X that there are three million malnourished children in Afghanistan.
“But we can only support 1 in every 3 malnourished children across Afghanistan,” WFP said. “Children bear the brunt of the assistance cuts. Sustained funding is vital.”
The World Food Program in Afghanistan had previously warned that the number of malnourished children visiting hospitals has increased this year following the reduction of foreign aid.
More than 23 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan this year, according to the United Nations. Over half of them are children.
In February, WFP announced a dire need for $760 million in food assistance for Afghanistan over the next six months.
