Amir Khan Muttaqi, acting foreign minister of the Taliban administration, said regional countries have concluded that the Taliban administration will not allow the \u201cgoals of foreigners\u201d to be implemented in Afghanistan and the wider region.<\/p>\n
According to Tasnim News Agency\u2019s regional office, he made the remarks at a ceremony marking the 107th anniversary of Afghanistan\u2019s independence, claiming that Afghanistan\u2019s security is linked to the security of neighbouring countries and that regional parties should understand this.<\/p>\n
Muttaqi also said countries that, in his view, have had \u201cpositive engagement\u201d with the Taliban administration have benefited from this approach, while countries that have not engaged in this way have suffered losses. He did not provide details about these gains or losses.<\/p>\n
The Taliban administration\u2019s acting foreign minister also claimed that its security and defence forces had been able to neutralise what he called \u201cthe plots of enemies\u201d and prevent their actions.<\/p>\n
In another part of his remarks, he said the people of Afghanistan \u201cdo not accept anyone\u2019s orders\u201d and continue to resist despite pressure. Muttaqi also cited progress in the economic and military sectors as examples of this situation.<\/p>\n
Afghanistan\u2019s Independence Day ceremony is held every year on 28 Asad, a day associated with Afghanistan\u2019s independence from Britain and considered one of the country\u2019s official occasions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
