The Taliban called on the United States and other countries on Saturday to honor their government in Afghanistan, saying that a failure to do so and the continued freezing of Afghan finances abroad would lead to problems not only for the country but for the world.
No country has formally recognised the Taliban government since the mutineers took over the country in August, while billions of bones in Afghan means and finances abroad have also been firmed, indeed as the country faces severe profitable and philanthropic heads.
“Our communication to America is, if unrecognition continues, Afghan problems continue, it’s the problem of the region and could turn into a problem for the world,”Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid told intelligencers at a news conference on Saturday.
He said the reason the Taliban and the United States went to war last time was also because the two didn’t have formal politic ties.
The United States raided Afghanistan in 2001 following theSept. 11, 2001, attack after the also-Taliban government refused to hand over al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.
Those issues which caused the war, they could have been answered through concession, they could have been answered through political concession too,”Mujahid said.
He added that recognition was the right of the Afghan people.
While no country has recognised the Taliban government, elderly officers from a number of countries have met with the movement’s leadership both in Kabul and abroad.
The rearmost visit was by Turkmen Foreign Minister Rasit Meredow, who was in Kabul on Saturday. The two sides bandied the speedy perpetration of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas channel, Mujahid said before on Twitter.
China’s foreign minister, Wang Yi, met Taliban officers in Qatar before this week. Mujahid said on Saturday that China had promised to finance transport structure, and to give Kabul’s exports access to Chinese requests via neighbouring Pakistan.
Mujahid also spoke at length about the issues facing border crossings, particularly with Pakistan, which have seen frequent closures and demurrers in recent days. The crossings are pivotal for landlocked Afghanistan.
He said serious addresses on the matter were held when Pakistan’s foreign minister had travelled to Kabul last week.
