In a statement, the OIC said: “The Special Envoy discussed the follow-up on the implementation of the resolutions of the Council of Foreign Ministers on Afghanistan, especially asking the Afghan authorities to review the decisions they have taken towards girls’ education and women’s work.”

“Today, Afghanistan has fallen behind global development due to the suspension of girls’ education. Therefore, it is necessary for the interim government to engage with the OIC and other organizations based on legitimate rights,” said Nasir Shafiq, a university professor.

The statement also mentioned that during this meeting, both sides discussed the issues of combating drugs and terrorism and exchanged views on the security and economic situation of the country.

“The Organization of Islamic Cooperation consists of fifty-seven Islamic countries around the world, and Afghanistan is one of them. If the Islamic Emirate officials convince the members of this organization, it can solve all of Afghanistan’s problems at the global level,” said Aziz Maaraj, a political analyst.

The 50th meeting of the OIC Foreign Ministers was held on August 29 and 30 in Cameroon, where Amir Khan Muttaqi also participated as the representative of Afghanistan.
