Detention of Americans an obstacle to engagement with IEA: Miller
The US Department of State spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a press briefing that the detention of American citizens in Afghanistan is an obstacle to positive engagement with Afghanistan.
The US Department of State spokesperson, in response to a question about whether an American prisoner will be exchanged with the Islamic Emirate or not, added that US officials have consistently emphasized the unconditional release of American citizens in meetings with representatives of the Islamic Emirate.
Miller meanwhile did not provide a response to journalists at this briefing about the position of American military aircraft that were flown to Uzbekistan and Tajikistan after the fall of the previous government in August 2021.
Meanwhile, IEA officials have not yet commented on this matter.
