Int’l community not engaging adequately with IEA despite achievements: Muttaqi
The international community is not engaging adequately with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) despite the achievements made in various areas, Acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi said on Tuesday.
Muttaqi made the remarks in a meeting with Norway’s Chargé d’Affaires Paul Klouman Bekken.
During the meeting, Bekken acknowledged progress made by the Islamic Emirate in ensuring security, stabilizing currency, countering narcotics, improvement in humanitarian situation and increase in women’s participation in the private sector, according to a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry.
Muttaqi said that despite such major achievements in comparison to the past 20 years, the international community has not engaged adequately with Afghanistan, and on the contrary, have spared no effort in increasing pressure on the Islamic Emirate, adversely affecting both trust and public perception.
The two sides stressed the need for joint confidence building measures.
