Kazakhstan Removes IEA From Banned Group List

 

"Kazakhstan’s Supreme Court has officially removed the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan from the list of banned groups whose activities are banned in its territory and wants to expand its relations with Afghanistan in the fields of trade and politics,” Zia Ahmad Takal said on X.

 

“Governments make decisions based on their national interests at the international level. Kazakhstan's national interests require that Afghanistan does not pose any threat to it and its surrounding countries. Similarly, the IEA also needs legitimacy,” said Shaker Hayat, a political analyst.

 

The acting foreign minister praised this decision of Kazakhstan, saying that it will be beneficial for the two countries, and called for more cooperation between the two countries.

 

“It is more important that the neighbors of Afghanistan should have mutual trust with Afghanistan like this. Kazakhstan is a bit far away and its importance is less,” Tariq Farhadi, a political analyst, told TOLOnews.
