A US State Department spokesperson said that there are no near-term plans to return diplomatic functions to Kabul.

The deputy spokesperson of the ministry in the weekly press briefing said that the US engage with many Afghans including the “Taliban” both inside and outside the country.

“We believe it is important to be very clear ... our State Department position is that we have no near-term plans to return any diplomatic functions to Kabul.  We engage with many Afghans, including the Taliban, both inside and outside the country, but human rights and the return to school for women and girls are at the forefront of our engagement,” said Vedant Patel, deputy spokesperson of the US State Department.

The Islamic Emirate believes the US-Afghanistan engagement to be key for resolving problems and that the Afghan government experience friendly relations with countries.

According to the spokesman for the Islamic Emirate, rights of all Afghans are protected based on the Islamic principles.

“Interaction with countries is a need. The US and Afghanistan both need interaction with each other. If the US does not engage with Afghanistan and continue as it is doing now, the Islamic Emirate will continue to engage with other countries,” the Islamic Emirate spokesperson, Zabiullah Mujahid, told TOLOnews.

Political analysts on the other hand insist that the Islamic Emirate should respect all internal and external demands of people.

“The International community in particular the US and the Afghan government should be clear about everything,” said Muhammad Yousuf Amin Zazai, a political analyst.

“The Biden administration will bring no changes in its policies towards Afghanistan. But if Donald Trump comes to power, the US aid to Afghanistan through the UN will come to an end,” said Tariq Farhadi, another political analyst.

Earlier, the US Sate Department in a 22-page document said that they are assessing reopening the US consulate in Kabul.
