The world should not ignore the improved security situation in Afghanistan: Qatar

Qatar has called on the international community not to ignore the improved security situation in Afghanistan and other positive realities.

Dr. Mutlaq bin Majed Al Qahtani, Qatar’s Special Envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar for Afghanistan, during a meeting with Mawlavi Amir Khan Miraqa, Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), discussed bilateral relations and freedom of movement.

He stressed the need to maintain good international relations with Afghanistan.

Qahtani called on the international community not to ignore the positive changes and improved security situation in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, Mutaqi praised Qatar’s good relations with Afghanistan and thanked them for their assistance.

Qatar, which has hosted the political office of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan for many years, has been instrumental in helping Afghanistan in the political, educational and medical fields, as well as in rebuilding and reactivating Kabul International Airport following the withdrawal of US troops.

This comes after the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) said economic sanctions are adversely affecting its services in the country.

UNAMA chief Deborah Lyons made the remarks during a meeting with Mutaqi in Kabul on Tuesday.

During the meeting, the head of UNAMA expressed satisfaction with the improved security situation in Afghanistan and pledged to continue its activities in the country and provide assistance to those in need.
