Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: The Islamic Emirate asks Washington not to politicize the issue of Afghan assets and to release them as soon as possible.
 
Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, told TOLO News: The foreign exchange reserves or the property of the Afghan people, which was usurped by the US, is the property of the Afghan people, and there should be no political confrontation with it. let them go and do not waste the trust of the people of Afghanistan. In this case, it is not reasonable to ask for an extension or other requests, and it is better for the authorities to take action.

Ahmad Wali Haqmal, the spokesman of the Ministry of Finance, says that it is necessary to provide the assets of Afghanistan to the central bank in order to solve the country's economic challenges.
 
Mr. Haqmal told TOLOnews: Our most basic and biggest problem is the freezing of money and the high limitation of our banking system. If this money was not frozen and was available to the central bank, Afghanistan's economic situation would be much better.
