IEA should accept world’s demands for the interests of Afghanistan: Guterres
The United Nations Secretary-General has called on the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan to accept the demands of the international community for the interests of Afghanistan.
In a press conference, the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged the IEA to form an inclusive government and respect the rights of women and girls, especially in the field of work and education.
According to Guterres, the compliance of the new rulers to the rightful demands of the international community is in the interest of Afghanistan and will lead the country to
progress and prosperity.
“We have different ethnic groups and it is important that all ethnic groups are representatives in Afghanistan,” said Guterres.
“Women and girls’ rights, the rights of women to work and the rights of girls to attend school at all levels without discrimination,” he added.
The formation of an inclusive government is one of the basic demands of countries in the region and the international community in Afghanistan.
The IEA officials meanwhile said this demand was an interference in the internal affairs of Afghanistan.
“We believe in having good relations with all countries; isolation policies that had no results in the past will not have any results now either,” said Bilal Karimi, deputy spokesman of IEA.
The US State Department has said that the US is not ready to improve relations with the Afghan government until they actually fulfill and live up to their commitments to the international community.
The US, however, has given more than one billion dollars to Afghanistan in aid since the IEA returned to power in August last year.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has announced the release of American citizen Dennis Coyle from prison.
According to the ministry, Coyle’s mother had written to the leader of the Islamic Emirate demanding amnesty and the release of her son on the occasion of Eid, and the Supreme Court considered his imprisonment sufficient and decided to release him.
The United Kingdom has announced an additional £3 million (AFN 257 million) in humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan, aimed at supporting people affected by natural disasters and other shocks.
Richard Lindsay, in a post on X, said the funding will be used to provide essential nutrition supplies and related support to vulnerable populations.
The new allocation brings the UK’s total bilateral assistance to Afghanistan for the current financial year to £154 million (AFN 13.18 billion).
