The deputy Ambassador of Iran in Kabul, Ghulam Riza Najari, said that despite the lack of formal recognition of the Islamic Emirate, the relations between Kabul and Tehran are good and are "improving day by day.” 

Najari meanwhile stressed the formation of an inclusive government with the participation of all tribes, saying that their wish is not aiming at interference in the internal affairs of Afghanistan. 

“However, we have not yet recognized the interim government, we don’t have any restrictions in our engagement with Afghanistan. The engagement exists as the two neighboring countries at all levels,” he said. 

Najari also urged the Islamic Emirate’s officials to take concrete steps for recognition by the international community. 

“The internal issues of Afghanistan should be given to the Afghans because we don’t interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and we expect this from other countries,” said 

However, the Islamic Emirate’s spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said Afghanistan expects others to respect Afghanistan’s internal affairs. 

“We want good relations with Iran because we don’t interfere in the internal issues of other countries and we expect the same from other countries,” he said.

“We have good relations with Iran because Afghanistan and Iran are neighboring countries, so the Islamic Emirate wants to have good relations with all neighbors including Iran,” said Abdul Jamil Shirani, a political analyst.

It has been more than two years since the Islamic Emirate came to power but no world country has yet recognized it.
