The acting minister of water and energy has said that the Doha Agreement between the United States and the Islamic Emirate contains no secret annexes.

Abdul Latif Mansoor said that removing the names of Islamic Emirate officials from the UN blacklist was part of the agreement’s next stages, which have yet to be implemented.

“The bounties have been lifted — there’s no doubt about that. They [the US] said it’s under their authority, as they had imposed them. But the blacklist was imposed by the United Nations. Since there are many member states involved, full consensus is required to remove the names. So now, Alhamdulillah, the Islamic Emirate remains committed to everything that was agreed upon in the Doha Agreement. The world should also honor its commitments and lift these lists,” he said.

Referring to the Doha peace process, Mansoor said that intra-Afghan talks were part of the agreement’s next phase, but due to the lack of unity among the previous Afghan government's negotiating team, those talks yielded no results.

He continued: “The team that came from Afghanistan for the intra-Afghan negotiations consisted of individuals from various parties and with differing views. Even the former government was formed based on political compromise. So when discussions took place, no quick consensus could be reached. They would often disagree among themselves.”

Mansoor also noted that the main pillars of the Doha Agreement were: the complete withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan, the start of intra-Afghan dialogue, a permanent ceasefire, and a guarantee that Afghan soil would not be used against the United States.

This comes as both the Islamic Emirate and the United States have previously accused each other of violating parts of the agreement.
