Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, will host a meeting on July 25 and 26 where representatives from at least 20 countries will discuss the current situation in Afghanistan.
Members of international organizations will also attend while Afghanistan will be represented by the acting foreign minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) is hoping this meeting will strengthen ties between the international community and the IEA and that serious attention will be paid to the expectations and needs of the government and people of Afghanistan.
“We are optimistic that in this summit, the needs of Afghans and the country will be considered and discussed along with ways to resolve the country’s problems,” said Bilal Karimi, the IEA’s deputy spokesman.
The aim of the Tashkent meeting is to discuss ways to maintain stability in the country and find ways to resolve the economic crisis.
“On major problems of Afghanistan … the world is not honest with Afghanistan and its people to honestly give advice or help this country,” said Jawid Sangdel, an international relations analyst.
However, a political analyst said: “Uzbekistan tries to strengthen Afghanistan both in politics and economy; the country plans to expand its ties with Afghanistan because Uzbekistan does not want Afghanistan to be turned into a lawless place which is not in the interests of Asia.”
In more than 10 months of rule by the Islamic Emirate in Afghanistan, several neighboring countries, the region and the world have held meetings about Afghanistan, but so far no country has been willing to recognize the new government of Afghanistan.

Seyyed Rasoul Mousavi, an assistant to Iran’s foreign minister, argued on Friday that the problem of migration cannot be solved by building walls on the border, adopting strict policies, and inhuman treatment of migrants.
The diplomat said on X that migration is a global problem and as long as there is poverty and injustice, there will be migration.The diplomat said on X that migration is a global problem and as long as there is poverty and injustice, there will be migration.
“Immigration is a major international problem. Governments have failed to solve this problem by building walls and strict anti-immigration policies and inhumane anti-immigrant approaches. The truth is bitter, but we know that as long as there is poverty, backwardness and unbalanced development among countries, there will be a problem of migration,” he said.
The statement comes after Iranian President-elect Massoud Pazeshkian said during his election campaign that he would shut the borders to Afghan migrants.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has indirectly criticized Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Interior Minister Nancy Faeser for promising to deport Afghan or Syrian criminals quickly.
“I believe that, especially in such uncertain times, it is not a contribution to security if you promise things that you then no longer know quite how you can actually keep the next day,” Baerbock said at an event in Hamburg, without mentioning Scholz or Faeser by name.
She said that violent criminals have “lost their right to protection,” however, one should not suggest that the problem of dangerous people can be solved by “quickly” deporting them to Afghanistan or Syria.
Baerbock also warned again against allowing the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) to dictate the conditions for taking back criminals.
“That’s why I’m careful not to promise things that I don’t know how to implement,” she added.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz vowed last month that Germany will start deporting criminals from Afghanistan and Syria again after a knife attack by an Afghan immigrant left one police officer dead and several other people injured.
Germany’s interior minister Nancy Faeser also said Germany was considering deporting Afghan migrants who posed a security threat back to Afghanistan.
IEA, however, called on Germany to avoid deportation of Afghans to a third country, but address the matter through normal consular engagement.

He expressed hope that with the joint diplomatic efforts of the two countries, the practical work of the TAPI gas pipeline, TAPI power transmission and railway between Torghundi and Herat will begin soon.
The Islamic Emirate took control of Afghanistan in August 2021, but no country has recognized it as a government.
But some countries in the region have established closer relations with the Islamic Emirate than others.
In December last year, Chinese President Xi Jinping accepted Asadullah Bilal Karimi’s credentials as Afghanistan’s ambassador to Beijing.
