In a recent meeting with Afghan scientific and cultural figures residing in Europe, Seraj Al-Din Haqqani, the Interior Minister of the Islamic Emirate, urged the international community to accept Afghanistan's new reality.

He stated that just as the Islamic Emirate does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, it does not accept any interference that contradicts its national sovereignty. The Taliban, he said, will continue their efforts to solve Afghanistan's problems.

Dr. Ruhi, the head of the academic and cultural board of Afghans living in Europe, spoke at the meeting. He noted that before the Taliban government came to power, Afghanistan was under both military and cultural and ideological attacks, which should be fought with great care.

Dr. Ruhi also expressed appreciation for the progress achieved in global security, peace, and the effective fight against drugs since the Taliban took power in Afghanistan. He added that forgetting the bitter past after years of war, tolerance, and acceptance of each other in the true sense, along with a quantitative and qualitative increase in the education of women and men and providing opportunities to experts, will lead to development and stability and can put Afghanistan on a better path.

Haqqani assured that the security of international projects in Afghanistan is guaranteed. He also suggested to the European Union that to solve the problems, Afghanistan should join international organizations. He further stated that some issues should be separated from the Taliban recognition issue.

Serajuddin Haqqani concluded by stating that the Afghan people, after several decades of hard struggle, have achieved their basic goals, which were freedom, ownership of the homeland, and the establishment of the Islamic system. He urged all parties to use the opportunity created for the country's development. (ILKHA)
