Jalali wrote that the responsibility of the Afghan consulate in Istanbul has been officially handed over to the Islamic Emirate team led by Golmat Khan Zadran.
At the same time, politicians say that the handover of Afghan embassies and consulates to the Islamic Emirate makes the government’s responsibility heavier.
According to the politicians, this action, along with the improvement of relations between Kabul and Istanbul, can be effective in addressing the challenges facing the Afghan refugees in a timely manner.
