Girls’ education is their legitimate right: Stanikzai
Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai, the political deputy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has said that girls’ education is their legitimate right and that the Islamic Emirate is trying to open the doors of education as soon as possible by creating a suitable environment.
Stanikzai stated this in a meeting with a delegation of media representatives, journalists and media experts of Iran.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement released Monday, Stanikzai considered the relations between Afghanistan and Iran to be unbreakable and necessary due to religion, culture and traditions, and added that Afghanistan and Iran are two countries that face restrictions at the international level and cannot trade freely with every country, so both countries can expand trade and transit between them and have good and honest relations with each other.
He said that the Islamic Emirate wants good relations with other countries, including the neighbors and beyond, and does not allow anyone to use Afghanistan’s soil against anyone else.
He added that now Afghanistan is completely secure with a strong central government, corruption has been eradicated, poppy cultivation and drug smuggling have been prevented and drug addicts have been treated, and the process is still ongoing.
Regarding the girls’ education, Stanikzai said that girls’ education is their legitimate right and IEA’s efforts in this regard continue to open the doors of education as soon as possible by creating a suitable environment.
Referring to the media, he said that the media outlets of the two countries can present the real picture of Afghanistan to the people of the world, including their own people.
According to the statement, the delegation pledged to present the realities of Afghanistan to their people and the world through the media.
