Some members of the SCO countries, including Russia and Pakistan, had called for the creation of a contact group to expand cooperation with Afghanistan.
The Islamic Emirate called the establishment of a contact group for Afghanistan in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization beneficial for improving the situation in Afghanistan.
Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, in response to the recent statements by the Russian Foreign Minister and his Pakistani counterpart regarding the establishment of a contact group, said that they welcome the creation of this group if interactions between the Islamic Emirate and other countries increase.
The spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate told TOLOnews: “We must respond to that organization through our Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We do not reject this, contact is necessary, and we want positive and good contact.”
Earlier, some members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization countries, including Russia and Pakistan, had called for the creation of a contact group to expand cooperation with Afghanistan.
A number of political analysts, in relation to the request of world countries from the Islamic Emirate, said that the caretaker government must accept the important and legitimate conditions of the world, which are also the demands of the Afghan people.
“The Islamic Emirate must strive to form an inclusive government that includes experts, especially those who have not been involved in any political movements, and there should also be members from other ethnic groups of Afghanistan,” Zakiullah Mohammadi, a university professor, told TOLOnews.
Members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the latest meeting of the organization’s foreign ministers in Kazakhstan also emphasized the establishment of an inclusive government, respect for human rights, and the fight against terrorism in Afghanistan.
