The Islamic Emirate’s spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, who led the IEA’s delegation at the third Doha meeting, said Afghanistan is no longer isolated and that an atmosphere of trust has been created with countries the IEA has relations with.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Mujahid said that special envoys at the Doha meeting meeting acknowledged progress made in Afghanistan and that discussions focused on supporting and removing restrictions on the private sector and achievements in the field of fighting drugs.
He stressed that in this meeting the IEA delegation was able to convey and show the demands of the caretaker government and the people of Afghanistan to the world.
“Afghanistan has moved away from isolation; Afghanistan is not isolated. It has its relations with countries and an atmosphere of trust has been created,” said Mujahid.
“The fourth issue was that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has been able to manage relations with the countries with which it has diplomatic relations, especially in the field of trade and transit, which is important for Afghanistan and for the countries,” he added.
According to Mujahid, the presentation of Afghanistan’s progress had surprised participants and they accepted the achievements of the IEA.
The private sector and the fight against narcotics are two important issues the IEA raised at the Doha meeting. The IEA called for the lifting of all sanctions, the cancellation of restrictions on the private sector and the return of Afghanistan’s frozen foreign reserves.
Mujahid added that IEA does not want Afghanistan to be a field of competition between powerful countries again.
“We won’t allow Afghanistan to become a conflict [zone] between powerful countries, we want Afghanistan to be the center of attraction for aid and the connecting point of countries, not separation,” he stressed.
He stated that the Kabul delegation had 24 bilateral and multilateral meetings with representatives of specific countries on the sidelines of the Doha-3 meeting and emphasized that IEA wants to have relations with all countries.

China and Tajikistan on Friday expressed their support in a joint statement for establishing an inclusive government with the participation of representatives of all ethnic, religious and political groups in Afghanistan.
According to the joint statement, the two sides reaffirmed that an independent, neutral, united, inclusive and peaceful Afghanistan, which is free from terrorism, war and drugs and lives in peace and harmony with all of its neighbors, is in the common interests of the Afghan people and all countries in the region.
The joint statement was issued during Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit to Tajikistan after attending a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Astana.
The summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in a statement had also called for establishing an inclusive government in Afghanistan.
The Islamic Emirate, however, considers countries’ call for an inclusive government “unwarranted and futile,” reiterating that it is an internal matter.
