The foreign ministry of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) announced on Saturday that the distribution of passports for newborn babies born to Afghan parents in Turkey has started.

The ministry’s deputy spokesman Hafiz Zia Ahmad said in a series of tweets that the consular department of the ministry of foreign affairs of the Islamic Emirate, in cooperation with Turkish authorities, has started the process of printing and distributing passports for babies in Turkey.

“It should be noted that the series of issuing new passports is currently reserved only for those Afghan children who were born in Turkey,” Zia Ahmad tweeted.

Zia Ahmad also said the ministry of foreign affairs is trying to provide easy access to consular services for Afghans around the world.
