Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, said that the US special representative for Afghanistan Thomas West should take into account the current progress in Afghanistan during his travels to countries in the region and meetings with officials from various countries.
Mujahid added that the interim government has had good achievements in the areas of security, economy, and anti-corruption.
The spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate told TOLOnews: "Our position is that the advances in security and stability in Afghanistan should be considered and supported, as this will lead to various dimensions and also lead to regional security and the alleviation of concerns."
This comes as the US special representative for Afghanistan Thomas West recently traveled to India and discussed the development of diplomatic relations with Afghanistan with some officials of that country.
West said on X: "Great to return to India and connect with close colleagues about the way ahead in Afghanistan. Spent valuable time with HE Foreign Secretary Kwatra and Joint Secretary JP Singh. India continues to deliver critical humanitarian aid and medicine to the Afghan people, and we discussed 2024 needs. Also exchanged views on development of a unified diplomatic approach in support of collective interests.”
Sayed Ishaq Gilani, leader of the National Solidarity Movement of Afghanistan, told TOLOnews: "The major countries are in no hurry like us; they want to investigate something, gather general opinions, and then act again. The best thing will be to facilitate discussions with Afghans."
Bilal Fatemi, a political expert, referring to Thomas West’s trip, said: "Not only humanitarian aid to Afghanistan is being discussed in this trip, but it is above that, and they just make it appear as if the topic is aid to Afghanistan."
Thomas West, the US special representative for Afghanistan, is expected to travel to the United Arab Emirates after his trip to India this week.
