The three-day conference brought together diplomats, ambassadors from 13 countries, and cultural attach\u00e9s from 32 nations, aiming to strengthen multilateral cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>The Taliban\u2019s Ministry of Information and Culture, which announced Tamkin\u2019s participation, described the event as an opportunity to expand cultural, healthcare, and tourism ties among countries. According to the ministry\u2019s statement, such programs can enhance mutual understanding and promote the exchange of experiences among nations.<\/p>\n<p>Tamkin&#8217;s participation comes amid continued criticism from cultural figures and political analysts both inside and outside Afghanistan, who question the Taliban administration\u2019s claim to represent the country\u2019s cultural community. They argue that the Taliban lacks public support and has further isolated Afghanistan globally by restricting cultural freedoms.<\/p>\n<p>Organizers of the conference also underscored the importance of global engagement in the fields of health, culture, and tourism. On the sidelines of the event, ambassadors and country representatives shared their perspectives and experiences, highlighting the need for increased collaboration in these areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taliban&#8217;s cultural attach\u00e9 in Turkey joins international conference in Izmir on health, culture, and tourism, sparking criticism from Afghan experts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2153,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2154"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2154\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2153"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
