Mawlawi Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid, Minister of Defense of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, during the ceremony marking the 26th of Dalwa (solar calendar) and the 37th anniversary of the withdrawal of former Soviet forces from Afghanistan, emphasized the country’s political independence and said that the doors of engagement between the Islamic Emirate and the international community are open, provided that such engagement is based on mutual respect, beliefs, religion, and Afghanistan’s national interests.
The Defense Minister said: “Anyone who wishes to engage with Afghanistan, our doors of interaction are open. We have no problems in the areas of trade, legal extraction of mines, and investment.”
In part of his remarks, Mujahid stated that some countries and intelligence circles oppose the establishment of security in Afghanistan and seek their interests in the country’s instability.
He also assured that Afghan soil will not be used against any country and that the Islamic Emirate will not allow any threat to be directed at other nations from its territory.
Mujahid added: “We have been able to ensure security in Afghanistan and prevent attacks from Afghanistan on other countries. We have this capability and do not need anyone’s assistance; they should only refrain from creating problems.”
Abdul Salam Hanafi, Administrative Deputy of the Prime Minister, also said at the event that all available means must be used to preserve the Islamic system.
He stated that prejudice has no place in the Islamic system and principles, emphasizing that unity and solidarity guarantee the survival of the Islamic system.
Hanafi further stressed that since the re-establishment of the Islamic Emirate in the country, security has been ensured and the cultivation and trafficking of narcotics have been curbed.
The Administrative Deputy of the Prime Minister said: “After the rule of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, as a result of the liberation and the establishment of the Islamic system, many positive measures have been taken in the country; nationwide security has been ensured and a general amnesty has been implemented.”
In another part of his speech, Defense Minister Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid also called on the country’s citizens to cooperate with security forces in maintaining security and to prevent the activities of those who seek to disrupt it.
