Afghanistan has diplomatic operations in 14 countries: Mujahid
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid says diplomatic relations between Afghanistan and the world are expanding and so far, the IEA has diplomats at embassies in 14 countries.
In a voice message Mujahid said that currently the embassies of Afghanistan are under the control of the Islamic Emirate in 14 countries, and each day, the country’s diplomatic relations with the region and the world are improving.
“We have very good relations with all neighboring countries as well as Islamic countries and countries in the region,” said Mujahid.
“We are trying to expand relations. Afghan embassies have diplomatic activities in around 14 countries.”
“The embassies of different countries are in Kabul, which means that relations are still expanding and improving, and we hope that it will develop further in the future,” he added.
Currently, a number of countries, including Russia, China, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, Qatar, and Kazakhstan have diplomatic missions in Afghanistan.
In addition, a number of countries have handed over the embassies of Afghanistan to the diplomats of the Islamic Emirate.
Earlier, the foreign ministry announced that a delegation of the Islamic Emirate visited the Afghanistan consulate in Khorog, the capital of Badakhshan province in Tajikistan.
Some politicians consider the interaction and close relations of the IEA with the countries of the region and the world to be important, but they emphasize that the IEA should act in a balanced way in foreign policy and relations between countries.
“The Islamic Emirate must maintain its neutrality and not go to any side, because with any side that gets too close, the other side will be jealous of their partner and problems will arise,” said Sayed Ishaq Gilani, a political analyst.
“The IEA should not favor any side, neither East nor West.”
Pakistan on Friday summoned Afghan Deputy Head of Mission in Islamabad to convey “strong demarche” over a deadly attack on a military camp in North Waziristan District that killed four Pakistani soldiers.
In a statement, Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the attack was carried out by a faction of Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
The statement said that Pakistan conveyed “grave concern over the continued support and facilitation” provided by the Islamic Emirate to TTP.
Pakistan has demanded “a full investigation and decisive action against the perpetrators and facilitators of the terrorist attacks launched against Pakistan from Afghan soil.”
It urged the Islamic Emirate “to take immediate, concrete and verifiable measures against all terror groups operating from its territory, including their leadership, and deny the continued use of Afghan soil for terrorism against Pakistan.
According to the statement, the Islamic Emirate has been “categorically informed that Pakistan reserves the right to defend its sovereignty and protect its citizens, and will take all necessary measures to respond to terrorism originating from Afghan soil.”
Pakistani officials have repeatedly claimed that attacks in the country are originated from Afghan soil, a charge the Islamic Emirate denies.
President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev has underscored Afghanistan’s continued importance in regional cooperation, saying the country remains one of the key areas of interaction among regional partners.
Addressing the first summit of the “Central Asia Plus Japan” dialogue, Mirziyoyev said participating countries share a common aspiration to see Afghanistan become peaceful, stable, and oriented toward meaningful development.
The Uzbek president praised Japan’s longstanding and consistent support for Afghanistan, noting that Tokyo has for many years been among the leading donors and partners assisting the Afghan people.
He expressed confidence that coordinated efforts and joint contributions by regional countries and Japan would help improve living standards in Afghanistan, advance socio-economic and infrastructure development, and facilitate the country’s active involvement in regional economic projects.
The Embassy of Japan in Afghanistan announced on Friday that the country has allocated $19.5 million in humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan.
In a statement, the Japanese Embassy said it hopes the aid will help bring positive change to the lives of vulnerable Afghans.
According to the statement, the assistance will cover the basic humanitarian needs of vulnerable communities in Afghanistan.
The embassy added that the aid will be delivered through United Nations agencies, international organizations, and Japanese non-governmental organizations operating in Afghanistan.
