Britain’s Charge d’Affaires for Afghanistan Hugo Shorter told Afghanistan’s acting foreign minister on Friday that his country does not support armed groups working against the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA).
Shorter met with the acting minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, in Doha on Friday, Afghanistan’s foreign ministry officials confirmed.
According to the foreign ministry, Shorter stated the UK would continue to support Afghan farmers and said they were working on a joint project in cooperation with the World Bank in this respect.
Muttaqi in turn emphasized the need for positive relations and called the recent spate of bombings targeting civilians a sign of enmity against Afghans.
