Afghanistan Peace CampaignAccording to Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, pressure tactics not only fail to facilitate engagement but also drive nations and countries further apart.
Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the deputy prime minister for economic affairs, has urged the international community in a speech in Kabul to abandon the policy of exerting pressure and instead engage in positive interaction with the caretaker government.
According to Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, pressure tactics not only fail to facilitate engagement but also drive nations and countries further apart.
The deputy prime minister for economic affairs stated that the political and economic relations of the caretaker government with global nations are expanding.
He further said: “I call on the countries of the world to cease their economic and political pressures on our country, as this benefits no one. History has proven that pressure does not foster engagement and relations; rather, it pushes nations and countries further apart.”
Previously, officials of the caretaker government have repeatedly emphasized the necessity of establishing good relations with other countries.
Human rights issues, the formation of an inclusive government, and the fulfillment of the Islamic Emirate’s commitments under the Doha Agreement are among the conditions set by the international community, especially Western nations, for normalizing relations with the caretaker government.
“Now is the time for countries to pave the way for positive engagement with the Islamic Emirate, considering mutual interests,” Moeen Gul Samkanai, a political analyst, told TOLOnews.
Over the past three years, the Islamic Emirate has managed to expand its relations with regional and neighboring countries. Some of these nations have officially accepted Islamic Emirate ambassadors; however, no country has yet announced the formal recognition of Afghanistan’s caretaker government.
