Afghanistan Peace CampaignThe caretaker government in Afghanistan has expressed its willingness to maintain positive and mutually beneficial relations with Germany.
Bruno Kahl, president of the German Federal Intelligence Service (BND), in an interview with a German media outlet said that the agency is working on how to establish engagement with Afghanistan’s caretaker government.
According to Kahl, the BND gathers intelligence from Afghanistan to assist the German federal government in making informed decisions regarding its approach toward the Islamic Emirate.
”We as intelligence services must obtain the information that’s important so that this federal government can make the appropriate decisions, and we do get from the particular region as well, and then the federal government old or new has to decide how it wants to deal with the de facto government in Afghanistan,” he said.
Meanwhile, the caretaker government in Afghanistan has expressed its willingness to maintain positive and mutually beneficial relations with Germany.
Hamdullah Fitrat, deputy spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, said: “Afghanistan seeks good relations with all countries, including Germany, which has historically maintained strong ties with Afghanistan. Both nations aim to protect their people’s interests through positive engagement.”
Political analyst Zalmai Afghan Yar commented: “All countries establish relations based on their national interests. Germany’s effort to find a mechanism for engagement is a positive step that could help Afghanistan break out of isolation.”
Kahl’s remarks on assessing engagement with the Islamic Emirate come as some German politicians have previously suggested that Berlin should negotiate directly with Afghanistan’s current government regarding Afghan migrants in Germany.
Meanwhile, Germany is expected to form a new government by the end of March.
