Durrani: Simultaneous recognition of the government in Kabul by neighboring countries is a good suggestion

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): In an interview with the Pakistani magazine "Defense Journal", Durrani said: "Pakistan's recognition of the Taliban government (Islamic Emirate) is not enough, other countries in the region must also do this. Simultaneous recognition of the government in Kabul by all neighboring countries is a good suggestion. For that, everything should be improved and a favorable environment should be created. "I say it is a good policy that the Taliban government (Islamic Emirate) should be collectively recognized."
 
Durrani also said that Pakistan and Afghanistan will deal with the issue of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and improving the security situation is in the interest of both countries.
 
On the other hand, following Kabul's request to participate in the next meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the spokesperson of the Russian President said that the Islamic Emirate's participation in such meetings depends on the consensus of the member states.
 
Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin spokesman, said that during the preparation of the next meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the cable request will also be considered.
 
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized the fact that the Islamic Emirate was not invited to the 22nd meeting of the heads of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
 
However, Amir Khan Muttaqi, Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, met with Takashi Okada, the Japanese ambassador in Kabul.
 
The Deputy Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, quoting the Ambassador of Japan, says that Japan wants to interact and expand cooperation in the fields of anti-narcotics, education, climate change, protection of historical monuments and health.
