Afghan Foreign Minister Mawlavi Amir Khan Muttaqi met with Qatar’s Ambassador to Afghanistan, Dr. Mirdef Ali Al-Qashouti, in Kabul on Tuesday to discuss bilateral relations and efforts to strengthen the Islamic Emirate’s engagement with the international community.

According to Afghanistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the meeting focused on relations between Kabul and Doha, with particular emphasis on Qatar’s diplomatic efforts to facilitate the Islamic Emirate’s engagement with other countries.

Muttaqi described the Islamic Emirate’s relations with the international community as expanding and praised Qatar’s role in facilitating diplomatic engagement.

Al-Qashouti reaffirmed Qatar’s commitment to continuing its efforts in this regard, describing the progress achieved so far as promising.

Qatar has played a role in facilitating diplomatic contacts involving Afghanistan and international actors since the Islamic Emirate returned to power in August 2021. (ILKHA)
