The Taliban Defense Minister has told Iranian, Pakistani, and Chinese diplomats that the Taliban is ready to ensure security and cooperation for the implementation of development projects in these countries in Afghanistan.
Mullah Yaqub Mujahid raised this issue after the “Regional Initiative for Afghanistan” meeting in Kabul.
The Taliban’s Defense Ministry stated in a press release on Tuesday that Mr. Mujahid had separately met with representatives from China, Iran, and Pakistan.
According to the press release, during these meetings, Mr. Mujahid discussed mutual relations, economic, and security cooperation with the representatives of these countries.
The press release added that before these meetings, representatives from India, Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Indonesia, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan had attended a reception hosted by the Defense Minister of the Taliban.
The Taliban’s Defense Minister held this reception and meetings with foreign diplomats one day after the Kabul meeting.
Since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, no countries have officially recognized their regime. This lack of recognition is primarily due to their disregard for women’s rights, their ban on girls attending schools and universities, restrictions on employment and free movement, and their failure to honour their international commitments.
The international community has been united in withholding recognition from the Taliban-led government in Afghanistan. Their actions regarding women’s rights, the education of girls, employment, and international obligations have raised significant concerns and have led to a lack of formal recognition by any nation.
