Acting Minister Muttaqi to Meet American Officials in Doha

The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs tweeted that a delegation of the Islamic Emirate led by acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi is scheduled to travel to Doha at the end of this month to meet with American officials. 

Abdul Qahar Balkhi tweeted that in the meeting, ending sanctions and blacklists, releasing Afghanistan's bank reserves, and stopping violations of Afghanistan's airspace will be discussed.  

According to Balkhi, the delegation of the Islamic Emirate will also discuss bilateral relations with Qatari officials. 

The US Department of State said in a statement on Wednesday that the Special Representative for Afghanistan Thomas West and Special Envoy for Afghan Women, Girls, and Human Rights Rina Amiri will travel to Astana, Kazakhstan, and Doha, Qatar from July 26-31.

“As President Biden said, the US will continue its contact with the current (Afghan) government to preserve its interests, but to recognize it, the rights of women should be at least observed as they are in other Islamic countries,” said Toreq Farhadi, a political analyst.

Vedant Patel, the deputy spokesman for the US Department of State, said in a press briefing that “travel for special representative Tom West and Rina Amiri does not indicate any change in the policy of the United States, and “we have been very clear that we will engage with the Taliban appropriately when it is in our interest _ to do so. This does not – this is not intended to mean any kind of indication of recognition or any kind of indication of normalization or legitimacy of the Taliban.” 

Once again, he criticized the violation of human rights by the "Taliban" and the marginalization of Afghan women and girls and called it worrying.

Meanwhile, the US special envoy for Afghan women and human rights,  Rina Amiri, said on Twitter that she visited the UAE and encouraged by “discussions with representatives of Albania, Bangladesh, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, the OIC and Tunisia.”

“The reps stated that women’s rights are protected in Islam and key to economic progress and stability,” she said.

“There was wide agreement that the extreme repression of Afghan women and girls sets a dangerous precedent, particularly for Muslim-majority countries; these policies should not be normalized and the world must stand with Afghan women & girls,” Amiri said.
