Shaheen emphasized to the French diplomat that “it would be better for France to reactivate its political presence in Kabul.”
Suhail Shaheen, Acting Head of the Afghan Embassy in Qatar, has called on France to reopen its embassy in Kabul.
According to the embassy the request was made during a meeting between Shaheen and Jean-Marie Chau, the French Charge d’Affaires for Afghanistan and that the two sides discussed a range of issues including the political situation, bilateral relations, humanitarian assistance, and cooperation in preserving Afghanistan’s cultural heritage.

France closed its embassy in Kabul following the return of the Islamic Emirate to power in August 2021.
