More countries may recognize IEA government following Russia’s lead, says Afghan official
Other nations may soon follow Russia in recognizing the Islamic Emirate-led government of Afghanistan, according to Suhail Shaheen, head of the IEA’s political office in Qatar and Afghanistan’s ambassador to the country.
“We may hear some good news in the coming weeks or months,” Shaheen told Russian state news agency RIA Novosti, when asked whether additional countries might recognize the IEA government following Russia’s announcement.
Shaheen’s remarks come after Russia became the first nation to officially recognize the IEA authorities since their return to power in August 2021.
The potential shift in diplomatic recognition could signal a turning point in the IEA’s efforts to gain legitimacy on the global stage.
