Pakistan's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Hina Rabbani Khar, who led the country's delegation at the meeting in Samarkand, reportedly said Afghanistan was in danger of a "serious humanitarian" and "economic crisis."
At a meeting of foreign ministers of Afghanistan's neighboring countries in Samarkand, Khar said that the policy of the Taliban had not been helpful in reducing the crisis situation in Afghanistan and its international isolation. According to her, their wrong decisions prevented Afghanistan from solving problems with the countries of the world.
Khar also expressed concern that there are signs of a reduction in international aid to Afghanistan next year and asked the world to "reconsider" its approach to the country and the Taliban themselves.
The Pakistan official also called the Taliban's recent decision to ban women from working in UN offices "wrong" and appealed to Western countries that the Taliban's decisions are no reason to "forget" Afghanistan. According to her, the ban on the work and education of women in the country has caused problems in relations with other countries.
The Minister in question also said that problems between the Taliban and the countries of the world worsen the humanitarian and economic crisis in Afghanistan. Khar added this situation will only increase the migration of Afghans to neighboring countries in the near future.
Although Pakistan has a close strategic relationship with the Taliban, Hina Rabbani told at the meeting in Samarkand that Afghanistan and other neighboring states face a "terrorist threat" from the movement.
Daryo.uz has previously reported that Pakistan's Defense Minister warned the Taliban government that if they failed to calm the activities of anti-Pakistani militants, his country would be forced to attack terrorist hideouts in Afghanistan. However, the Taliban have not yet reacted to this statement.
