The Minister of Interior Sirajuddin Haqqani called on Afghans who have left the country to return home and support the current system.

In a voice message published on social media on Wednesday night, Haqqani said Afghans outside the country should see former politicians, including former president Hamid Karzai, as an example and trust their judgment.

“Those who left the country, if they don’t trust us, Dr. Abdullah, Hamid Karzai, and Gulbuddin Hekmatyar are here. You have spent time with these people, so trust your elders, support the government, and return home,” said Haqqani.

Experts however said that the Islamic Emirate should make more effort to create an atmosphere of trust for the return of those who are outside the country, and provide economic and intellectual security to those who are in Afghanistan in order to prevent the continued migration of the Afghan elite.

“It would be good if the conditions are paved for those who are abroad to return home in order to take part in the development of their country,” said Khalil Ahmad Nadim, a political analyst.

Qatar’s deputy foreign minister Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al-Khulaifi met with Afghanistan’s deputy prime minister for economic affairs Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar on Thursday and urged the IEA to attend the upcoming Doha meeting.

During this meeting, which took place in Kabul, political, economic and commercial relations were discussed between the two sides.

Baradar thanked Qatar for its cooperation with Afghanistan in various fields and said that these relations should be expanded and strengthened. 

He also said currently there are numerous investment opportunities in Afghanistan and Qatari investors are welcome to invest.

According to Baradar, the Islamic Emirate has provided necessary facilities to foreign investors and fully supports them.

Al-Khulaifi in turn said Qatar will encourage investors to invest in Afghanistan and for this purpose, Qatari investors will visit Kabul in the near future.

Al-Khalifi added that they are working closely with Qatar Airlines to start flights to Afghanistan and to strengthen commercial relations between the two countries.

Khalifi meanwhile asked the Islamic Emirate to attend the upcoming meeting of special envoys for Afghanistan in Doha. He said Qatar would like the IEA to attend the meeting so that definite conclusions can be reached.

He added that without the presence of the IEA, such meetings are fruitless. He said he had clarified his position to the United Nations in this regard.

Baradar meanwhile said that the Islamic Emirate wants broad political-economic relations with all countries.

He emphasized that without IEA representation at meetings, no results can be reached and therefore, it is necessary to respect the position of the Islamic Emirate in such gatherings.

This comes after Baradar and foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi met with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and Qatar’s Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sherpur Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani in Tehran in Iran.
