IEA rejects US travel warning, says no threat to foreign nationals in Afghanistan
His remarks came after the US Department of State placed Afghanistan among 23 countries under its Level 4 travel advisory, urging American citizens not to travel to the country.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has rejected the US State Department’s decision to place Afghanistan under its highest travel warning, describing the advisory as unjustified and insisting that foreign nationals face no security threats in the country.
Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, said citizens from various countries, including tourists, diplomats, journalists and businesspeople, continue to visit Afghanistan.
He added that those visitors maintain relations with various countries, including the United States, and that security forces pay special attention to protecting foreign nationals and individuals linked to international organisations and governments.
Mujahid said the reasons behind Washington’s concerns would be examined, but maintained that, from the Islamic Emirate’s perspective, no one faces a threat in Afghanistan.
