Iran’s special envoy and head of UNAMA meet to discuss Afghanistan
The Iranian Embassy in Kabul announced on Monday that Hassan Kazemi Qomi, Iran’s special representative and ambassador to Kabul, met with Roza Otunbayeva, the UN Secretary General’s special envoy and head of UNAMA to discuss joint cooperation in Afghanistan.
The Iranian embassy in Kabul said in a post on X that during the meeting, “there was a discussion and exchange of views on the joint cooperation between Iran and the United Nations for mine clearance, alternative cultivation of poppy and distance education”.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has banned the cultivation of poppy, and the United Nations and international organizations have emphasized the need to find alternative ways to ensure the livelihood of farmers.
Panjshir’s Parande hydropower dam has been fully completed and is now approaching the operational phase, officials announced on Saturday.
The spokesperson for the governor of Panjshir, Saifuddin Laton, said that for the first time, the province will benefit from electricity generated from its own water resources.
Laton added that the project was designed and implemented by Ukrainian electrical engineers in collaboration with the company Inter Global Middle East, at a cost of $7.6 million.
The dam is expected to have a generation capacity of four megawatts.
Noorullah Noori, the Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, has called Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif a “mentally ill” person for threatening Afghanistan with attacks.
Speaking at a gathering, Noori asked Khawaja Asif to study history before making a decision.
He said: “Your history against Bangladesh and India is clear. Our history against Russia, America and Britain is clear. You judge.”
Pakistani officials have consistently claimed that attacks in the country are organized by militants in Afghanistan, a claim that the Islamic Emirate denies.
Pakistan carried out attacks in Kabul and Paktika about a month ago, which led to deadly clashes between the two sides.
The two sides have held three rounds of talks, but the talks have been inconclusive.
