Fitrat: Diplomatic Visits Increase Between Tajikistan, Islamic Emirate
Hamdullah Fitrat, Deputy Spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate, said that the Islamic Emirate seeks to establish good relations with Tajikistan and that there have been recent exchanges between the two sides in recent days.
Fitrat added that given these recent exchanges, there is hope for progress in relations with Dushanbe.
The Deputy Spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate stated: “The Islamic Emirate wants good relations with all countries, including Tajikistan. Since Tajikistan is a neighboring and Muslim country, we want to have good relations. Delegations from both sides have recently met, and we hope progress will be made in this regard in the future.”
Tajikistan, one of Afghanistan’s neighbors, has not had close relations with the Islamic Emirate compared to other neighboring countries.
Some political analysts said that improving relations between the interim government and neighboring countries requires more exchanges and meetings between officials.
“Tajikistan has played a central role in the region over the past two decades. It is necessary for the Islamic Emirate to establish good relations with all neighboring countries, especially Tajikistan, considering the circumstances,” said Sayed Maqdam Amin, a political analyst.
“The more meetings are held with the leadership of Tajikistan, and the more exchanges take place, the more beneficial it will be for both sides,” said Saleem Paigir, another political analyst.
Earlier, Mawlawi Abdul Kabir, the Deputy Prime Minister for Political Affairs, also stated that relations between Kabul and Dushanbe are improving. However, it remains unclear at what level these exchanges between the officials of the two countries have taken place and who from both sides has met.
