The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s (IEA) Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi met with Russian special envoy for Afghanistan, Zamir Kabulov, and discussed bilateral relations, regional issues, economic cooperation and the current situation, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, Hafiz Zia Ahmad Takal, said.

Takal said Muttaqi emphasized the need for the extension of diplomatic presence in Moscow.

He quoted the Russian envoy as saying that Moscow wants stability and development in Afghanistan and is not seeking to interfere in internal affairs as do “western countries” and does not want Afghanistan to be isolated from the international community.
