Deputy Minister of Information and Culture, Zabiullah Mujahid, said that the visits of the delegation of the Islamic Emirate to a number of regional countries were fruitful.

Mujahid denied discussion by any official of the Islamic Emirate over the Helmand River Treaty with Iranian officials, which Iran claimed had occurred.

Talking to reporters on Saturday in Kabul, Mujahid said that the Islamic Emirate remain committed to preserving national interests. He said that no official discussed the Helmand River Treaty with Iran. 

Mujahid said that the regional countries have expressed readiness for cooperation with Afghanistan. 

“Uzbekistan pledged to transform power lines from Uzbekistan to Pul-e-Khumri (capital of Baghlan province),” he said.   

Referring to the visit of the Turkmenistan Foreign Minister, Rashid Meredov, Mujahid said that Kabul assured Ashgabat they would provide security on the borders. According to him, Turkmenistan was ready to provide five-million-dollars of financial support to the TAPI project in Afghanistan.  

The Islamic Emirate’s spokesman also referred to reports that the US allowed the Resistant Front to open an office in the US, saying the claim was baseless.

He once again reiterated that there will be no threat from Afghanistan’s soil to any country and that there is no need for the formation of an outpost on the borders.  

Reuters has recently reported that the Islamic Emirate appointed an envoy for Afghanistan’s embassy in Islamabad. But according to Mujahid, no official envoy was appointed for the embassy.  

“There have been serious discussions with Pakistan over the trade problems,” he said, referring to the recent chaos at crossing areas with Pakistan.

Regarding a meeting that was recently held between the acting foreign minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, and his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, Mujahid said that China expressed readiness to provide investment in Afghanistan
