Islamic Emirate Stresses Independence, Good Relations with World
The Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs, speaking at a public gathering in Kunduz province, emphasized the political positions of the Islamic Emirate, stating that Afghans inside the country do not want another system and that, in his view, foreign propaganda causing concern is unacceptable to the people.
Noorullah Noori added that with the formation of a stable government in Afghanistan, the influence Pakistan had over the past two decades has diminished. He described the Islamic Emirate as an independent system and said that while maintaining independence, it seeks good relations with all countries.
He said at the gathering: “We neither want problems with neighboring countries, regional countries, nor with the world, nor do we create problems.”
He also stressed that borders are considered part of the Islamic system’s limits and that Afghans will defend their land with their lives and wealth.
Noori further referred to the country’s financial situation, saying: “Over a five-year period, Afghanistan is not indebted to anyone, and the debts belong to the previous government.”
These remarks come as relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan have often experienced ups and downs, with issues of influence and regional policies being key topics among officials and analysts of both countries.
Meanwhile, some political analysts, referring to these statements, describe Pakistan’s policies toward Afghanistan as unsuccessful.
Hematullah Ahmadi, a political analyst, said: “Not only officials of the Islamic Emirate criticize this situation, but within Pakistan as well, religious scholars and political figures have criticized that country’s military government.”
The gathering was held to exchange views and foster mutual understanding between the government and the people, with the participation of local officials, district representatives, religious scholars, tribal elders, university professors, youth, and a number of citizens.
