Fitrat: Islamic Emirate Not Isolated, Maintains Intl Relations
The Islamic Emirate has rejected the statement of the US Secretary of State regarding its isolation, emphasizing that the interim government maintains relations with various countries.
Hamdullah Fitrat, the deputy spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate, stated that the interim government remains committed to its obligations under the Doha Agreement. He described recent changes in the country as being in accordance with Islamic principles and urged the international community to refrain from interfering in Afghanistan’s internal affairs.
The deputy spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate said: “Afghanistan is not in isolation. At present, we maintain diplomatic, trade, and economic relations with various countries. We have active political representatives in different nations, and high-level exchanges of delegations with key countries worldwide have taken place. The commitments we made in Doha have been implemented, and we continue to uphold them.”
Salim Paigir, a political analyst, commented: “It is true that we have relations with regional countries, but this is not enough for Afghanistan today. We need to strengthen our ties with both Western and Eastern countries to bring Afghanistan out of isolation from the Western world.”
Earlier, the US Secretary of State said that the interim government has become isolated due to its shift in policies since its initial days in power.
Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, remarked: “The Taliban initially projected a more moderate image when talking control of Afghanistan, and then its true colors came out. The result is that they are terribally isolated worldwide.”
Moeen Gul Samkani, another political analyst, said: “The Islamic Emirate’s government must fulfill the promises it made during the Doha negotiations.”
The United States and the Islamic Emirate have repeatedly accused each other of violating the Doha Agreement.
