The spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, Zabihullah Mujahid, stated that the caretaker government will take practical steps this solar year to revive diplomatic relations with other countries and gain international recognition.
Zabihullah Mujahid told TOLOnews that although efforts have been made by the Islamic Emirate toward recognition, it remains unclear whether countries around the world will recognize the caretaker government during this solar year.
The spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate also emphasized the role of the United Nations in restoring relations between the caretaker government and the international community, urging the organization to take initiatives in this regard.
“Still, it is their responsibility to take fundamental steps in restoring relations between Afghanistan and the world, especially the United Nations, and to value these ties. Afghanistan is an important country for the world and the UN, and the rights of the Afghan people are being undermined in this stance. They should have a better position,” Mujahid told TOLOnews.
Some political analysts believe that the Islamic Emirate must, in addition to safeguarding national interests, also address and respond to the concerns of regional and international countries to pave the way for recognition.
Forming an inclusive government, respecting human rights—especially the rights of women and girls—initiating national dialogue, and combating terrorism and drugs are among the conditions that analysts believe have prevented the Islamic Emirate from being recognized by the international community.
“It is regrettable that the international community has taken no action in the past three and a half years, and the lack of recognition of the Islamic Emirate has caused problems for the people,” said Abdul Sadeq Hamidzoy, a political analyst.
“The recognition of a country is a formal, political, and technical process based on international standards, through which the United Nations can assist developing countries,” said Sayed Ebadullah Sadeq, another political analyst.
Although more than three and a half years have passed since the Islamic Emirate returned to power in Afghanistan and diplomatic relations have been established with several countries including Iran, China, Turkey, Qatar, Uzbekistan, and some others, no country has yet officially recognized the Islamic Emirate.
