The outgoing foreign minister in Kabul on Sunday encouraged the international community to support his country politically, diplomatically and economically after spelling out that political isolation of the war-ravaged nation in the wake of the Taliban victory is not suitable for anyone.
He was addressing the 17th Extraordinary Session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the FM stated that Kabul was prepared to listen to and accept all requests, concerns and advice of Islamic countries with respect to Afghanistan that can lead towards a proper and just roadmap and direct us out of the current crisis.
He added that they, as a representative and responsible government of the Afghans, regarded human rights, women’s rights and participation by all competent Afghans from various regions their responsibility, and had done much in this regard and would continue to take additional steps.
He asserted that an order was declared by the leader of the Islamic emirate about female rights, which would prove instrumental in granting them rights. He said that Kabul continued to be the target of biased propaganda by a few media platforms wherein the current portrait of the country was illustrated in a skewed manner to the world.
He said that there were no political detainees in his country and every official department was functioning smoothly.
