Former diplomats and political analysts called the appointment of a new Chargé d’affaires by the Islamic Emirate important for the improvement of relations and solving the challenges of Afghan nationals.

“The introduction of Afghanistan’s envoy to the UAE can bring facilities regarding provision of consulate services for the refugees and traders,” said Najeeb Rahman Shamal, a political analyst.
