They recognized them, but they could not do anything against the Taliban, who numbered 70,000 and had a Kalashnikov and a motorcycle, and maintained their country and sovereignty. They eventually fell and preferred to flee. , but now they are in the property of immigration and empty-handed.

He described the media cooperation between Afghanistan and Iraq as helping to expand and deepen bilateral cooperation between the people and governments of Afghanistan and Iraq. In the country, he invited the head of the Iraqi Radio and Television Union to visit Kabul as a delegation of media officials and media personalities.

Unfortunately, I had never heard such a report before, and those who came and spoke were different and not only did not show the current atmosphere in Afghanistan as positive, but they showed it as dark as they could and criticized us. Why don't we say anything against the Afghan government and take a position?
