IEA and Saudi relations on solid ground, say Islamic Emirate

The Islamic Emirate’s deputy spokesman says the security of all diplomats and diplomatic missions in the country is ensured and that countries can continue their diplomatic activities in Afghanistan without any concerns.

Bilal Karimi said that there is no problem in the relationship between the Islamic Emirate and Saudi Arabia.

Karimi expressed hope that the diplomats of Saudi Arabia can continue their activities in Afghanistan without any concerns.

“We hope that no country, including Saudi Arabia, will have any concerns in our country and that they will be present in our country without any problems,” said Karimi.

“The Islamic Emirate is very serious about the protection and security of diplomatic places and has assured all countries in this regard.”

Last year reports were leaked to the media that Saudi Arabia had stopped the activity of its embassy in Kabul and withdrawn its diplomats from Afghanistan.

Currently, the embassies and diplomatic missions of many countries in the region, including China, Russia, the European Union, Turkey, Qatar, Iran, Uzbekistan, Japan, and neighboring countries, are open in Kabul and have good relations with the IEA.

The IEA officials said that the active diplomatic missions of regional countries in Afghanistan mean the expansion of diplomatic ties with these countries.

Although IEA has made progress in diplomatic relations with the countries of the region and the world in less than two years, no country has yet been willing to recognize the new government of Afghanistan.
