The envoys of the Gulf countries affirmed this Monday that women must be able to work and study in Afghanistanduring discussions with the Taliban foreign minister, whose cabinet is trying to unlock funds for the country.
Amir Khan Muttaqi, a key member of the Taliban government who seized control of the country six months ago, met in Doha with ambassadors from the six countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
The Taliban tweeted photos of their smiling foreign minister walking into a meeting with representatives from Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on Monday. But the diplomats said Afghan officials they did not commit to anything.
The Arab envoys stressed that we must help Afghanistan, a country with “urgent humanitarian needs”, plunged into a famine caused by drought and a serious economic crisis, according to a statement from the GCC.
Emphasizing that there should be no “interference” in the affairs of Afghanistan, the representatives “affirmed” the importance of a “national reconciliation plan” that “take into account the interests of all components of society and respect basic freedoms and rights, including the right of women to work and to an education”.
Muttaqi is scheduled to meet with envoys from European countries and other international representatives on Wednesday. At the end of the meeting, he did not comment. (I)
