The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) has announced that Chinese officials have welcomed its newly appointed ambassador in Beijing on Friday.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement said that Asadullah Bilal Karimi presented a copy of his credentials to Hong Li, the Head of the Protocol Department at the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to the statement, Hong Li welcomed Bilal Karimi and considered his appointment as ambassador an important step in the expansion of relations between China and Afghanistan.
He said that China respects the national sovereignty of Afghanistan and the decisions of the people of this country and does not interfere in its internal affairs.
Hong pointed out that China wants to cooperate with Afghanistan in the framework of the “Belt and Road” initiative in the field of economic and infrastructure projects.
Meanwhile, Bilal Karimi said that he is glad to start working as the ambassador and special representative of the Islamic Emirate in China.
He added that this is an important chapter in the expansion of relations between the two countries.
Bilal Karimi assured China that no country will be threatened from Afghanistan soil, adding that stability and security in the region is in the interest of all. He also appreciated China’s “positive and non-interference policy” in Afghanistan’s affairs, and called China a good neighbor of Afghanistan.
Karimi also highlighted the importance of China’s role in investment, infrastructure restoration, development and reconstruction projects. He said that the current stability in Afghanistan is a good opportunity which should be fully utilized.
In the meeting, Hong Li expressed hope that with the appointment of the new IEA ambassador in China, relations between China and Afghanistan will be strengthened and expanded.
Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, has called on religious scholars to play a stronger role in promoting the protection of the Islamic system and Afghanistan’s national interests among the public.
Speaking at a turban-tying ceremony at Jamia Fath al-Uloom in Kabul on Wednesday, Baradar urged scholars to adopt a softer tone in their sermons and public addresses.
He said that alongside teaching religious obligations, scholars should help foster a sense of responsibility toward safeguarding the Islamic system and national unity.
Baradar described madrasas as the sacred foundations of religious learning, moral education, spiritual and intellectual development, and Islamic movements within Muslim societies.
He noted that in Afghanistan, religious teachings and the concept of sacred jihad originated in madrasas, spread from villages to cities, and eventually translated into action and resistance.
He also emphasized the role of madrasas in the intellectual reform of society, the removal of what he described as un-Islamic cultural influences, and the preservation of Islamic traditions.
Baradar stressed that religious schools must remain committed to their original mission and values under all circumstances.
