Stanikzai Calls for UN Seat for Islamic Emirate
Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, has requested that the United Nations grant Afghanistan’s seat to the caretaker government.
In a meeting in Kabul, he discussed establishing relations with various countries and emphasized that the Islamic Emirate seeks positive relations with all nations, including the United States.
Stanikzai underscored that this seat belongs to the Afghan people, stating: “The Islamic Emirate is ready to cooperate with all nations on every matter. May God bring conditions that allow Afghanistan to secure its seat, whether at the UN or any other forum, to voice the people’s concerns and put an end to this adversity.”
He also asserted that the caretaker government has no issues with any country and supports peace and stability.
The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs said: “The Islamic Emirate wants friendly relations with the world, including regional, beyond the region, and global powers like Russia, China, and the US. You’ve heard that we have always conveyed to major powers that Afghanistan does not wish to be in conflict or opposition with any country.”
“Recently, in addition to Eastern countries that have maintained close ties with us over the past three years, European countries have also shown an interest in fostering positive relations with the Islamic Emirate,” Salim Paigir, a political analyst, told .
Since the Islamic Emirate returned to power, no country has yet recognized the caretaker government. However, currently, some countries maintain positive relations and engage constructively with the Islamic Emirate.
