Afghanistan Peace CampaignMeanwhile, the media outlet Foreign Affairs published a piece that discussed the expansion of regional relations with the Islamic Emirate.
The White House says that if the Islamic Emirate fulfills its commitments to the world, it will be recognized.
“I would just tell you that, you know, we haven’t recognized the Taliban as the government in Afghanistan. If they want such recognition, if they want legitimacy, they have to meet their commitments, particularly to women and girls and to human rights in Afghanistan. And we are not providing direct support to them diplomatically, economically, or in any other way,” said John Kirby, US National Security Council spokesman.
Meanwhile, the media outlet Foreign Affairs published a piece that discussed the expansion of regional relations with the Islamic Emirate.
The piece said that while the countries of the region have not yet recognized the caretaker government of Afghanistan, these countries still seek close interactions with the Islamic Emirate.
“The approach that the United States and its allies and partners ultimately converged on was a commitment to continue engaging with the Afghan people—for example by providing substantial humanitarian aid—while withholding diplomatic recognition of the Taliban regime and the benefits that usually come with normal diplomatic relations,” the piece reads.
“Although no Islamic and regional country recognized the caretaker government, all these countries for their own interest created good relations with the caretaker government,” Tariq Farhadi, a political analyst told TOLOnews.
The Islamic Emirate also talked about close relations with the countries of the region and said that their relations with other countries are improving daily.
“We want good relations with all, Afghanistan is a country that wants good relations with all its neighbors in diplomacy, trade and economically,” said Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman for the Islamic Emirate.
This comes as the Foreign Minister of Uzbekistan, in a meeting with the Deputy PM of the Islamic Emirate, stated that Tashkent will accept the ambassador of the Islamic Emirate in the near future.
More than two and a half years have passed since the Islamic Emirate regained control of the country; however, no country, including those in the region, has recognized the caretaker government yet.
