New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s ‘Abd al-Qahār Balkhī: “Meeting in Doha With Ambassadors and Representatives of the U.S., E.U., and Other Western Countries”
Today in Doha, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Honorable Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi and senior delegation held a joint meeting with ambassadors and representatives of US, EU and other western countries. H.E. Muttaqi talked in detail about the current Afghan situation, relations with other countries, prevailing economic difficulties, humanitarian assistance, resumption of incomplete development projects and existing sanctions, drawing the attention of all participants, adding that weakening the Afghan government is not in the interest of anyone because its negative effects will directly affect the world in security sector and economic migration from the country. Pressure tactics have not yielded results in Afghanistan, instead let us adopt constructive interaction and cooperation.
H.E. Muttaqi remarked our priority is paying salaries from previous months to half a million civil servants and resumption of new economic projects. In this regard we urge world countries to end existing sanctions and let banks operates normally so that charity groups, organizations and the government can pay salaries to their staff with their own reserves and international financial assistance.
Participants of the meeting agreed that an instable Afghanistan is not in the interest of anyone however they do have some concerns that must be addressed by you that will lead to positive effects on relations. Majority of participations asserted they have increased humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan and want to deliver it by the end of the year. Moreover, all were of the opinion to continue such meetings and interactions in the future.
