A spokesperson for the Taliban administration stated that no meetings related to regional issues should take place without the presence of Afghan representatives, emphasizing that Afghanistan must have a role in regional decision-making. Zabihullah Mujahid warned that excluding Afghanistan from talks could impact the outcomes and future directions of the region.<\/p>\n
In a conversation with the media, Mujahid said that regional meetings have the potential to strengthen relations among neighboring countries and lay the groundwork for economic cooperation and diplomatic trust. According to him, the Taliban administration seeks to ensure that Afghanistan’s position is considered in the formulation of policies and programs affecting the region’s future.<\/p>\n
He added that having Afghan representatives present can increase the effectiveness of these meetings and properly represent the Afghan people. This statement comes amid the fact that the Taliban administration has not yet been recognized by much of the international community and has been excluded from some important regional and international meetings.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Abdul Latif Nazari, Deputy Minister of Economy of the Taliban administration, said that developments in Afghanistan are directly linked to the security and stability of the region. He asserted that discussions about the region’s future without Afghanistan’s participation cannot achieve complete and lasting results. He stressed that there is mutual dependence between Afghanistan and neighboring countries, and attending these meetings can help exchange views and increase awareness of regional trends.<\/p>\n
These remarks come as TASS news agency previously reported that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Commonwealth of Independent States, and the Collective Security Treaty Organization plan to hold a meeting on Central Asian security and the situation in Afghanistan; however, the details regarding Afghanistan’s level of participation remain unclear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
