Muttaqi: Afghanistan’s progress requires both religious and modern education
Afghanistan’s Foreign Minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, says the country’s future development depends on strengthening knowledge in both religious education and modern scientific fields.
Speaking at a graduation ceremony for Huffaz at Riyaz-ul-Uloom on Thursday, Muttaqi said the foundations of learning in Afghanistan are “growing stronger each day,” noting progress in both religious seminaries and contemporary academic disciplines.
He stressed that Afghanistan can only advance and “be freed from oppression” when its people gain expertise in both domains. The country, he said, needs not only religious scholars but also professionals such as doctors, engineers, and scientists.
Muttaqi added that the Islamic Emirate is working “day and night” to expand educational opportunities and support the development of skilled Afghans across all sectors.
