In a phone conversation between Amir Khan Muttaqi, the Taliban government’s acting foreign minister, and Bakhtiyor Saidov, Uzbekistan\u2019s foreign minister, key issues including the expansion of bilateral relations between Kabul and Tashkent, the strengthening of economic cooperation, and the latest regional developments were discussed.<\/p>\n
According to a statement released by the Taliban\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Amir Khan Muttaqi emphasized the administration\u2019s focus on diplomacy and mutual understanding. He reiterated that the Taliban aim to establish constructive relations with all neighboring countries based on mutual respect, non-interference, and positive engagement.<\/p>\n
Muttaqi also stated that positive engagement with regional countries, particularly Uzbekistan, reflects the Taliban administration\u2019s support for stability, economic cooperation, and regional coordination. It is worth noting that the Taliban government has yet to gain international recognition and is using diplomatic efforts to garner support from regional countries.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Uzbek Foreign Minister Bakhtiyor Saidov stressed the critical role of all regional countries in ensuring shared stability. He emphasized that rather than interference, a climate of understanding, economic cooperation, and trust should be cultivated among neighboring states.<\/p>\n
This conversation comes amid ongoing international concerns over the Taliban administration\u2019s policies on human rights, women\u2019s rights, and the inclusivity of Afghanistan\u2019s political system, which remain unresolved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
