The third anniversary of the Islamic Emirate’s return to power was marked Wednesday in a special ceremony in the presence of senior government officials at Bagram Airfield in Parwan province.
Speaking at the event, Deputy Prime Minister for Administrative Affairs Abdul Salam Hanafi said that government officials now have a duty to strengthen brotherhood and to put an end to national-religious prejudices.
Hanafi stressed that the IEA does not intend to interfere in the affairs of others, and others should not interfere in the internal affairs of Afghanistan.
“Efforts must be made seriously so that stability and security is ensured permanently as well as unity among Afghans,” Hanafi said.
“With all efforts, all the officials of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan should try to eliminate national, linguistic and ethnic hatreds,” he said.
Political Deputy Prime Minister Mawlavi Abdul Kabir also spoke at the ceremony and once again stressed the need for the expansion of the world's interaction with Afghanistan.

Kabir urged countries to protect Afghanistan from the competition of world powers and demand national sovereignty and territorial integrity of Afghanistan.
“The Islamic Emirate seeks to remove Afghanistan from regional and global competition. We want good relations with all countries,” he stated.
He also asked ex-government officials and political figures living abroad to come back and work for their country.
Acting Minister of Interior Sirajuddin Haqqani also said that after the defeat of the US in Afghanistan, IEA was not looking for accountability and the world should now take part in developing Afghanistan.
Haqqani also called on the world to interact with Afghanistan.
This is the second time that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan marks its return to power at the Bagram Airfield.

Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar officially launched construction work on Tuesday of the second lane of the Kabul-Ghazni highway.
He said one of the Islamic Emirates’ priorities is to improve transport infrastructure in the country.
The double carriageway will stretch 111 km once completed and will cost an estimated 3 billion afghanis (AFN).
This highway will become a toll road and toll fees will be used to complete the project, which will take about three and a half years, he said.
According to Baradar, dozens of jobs will be created through it and trade between Kabul and Ghazni will be strengthened.
He also mentioned the Kabul-Kandahar highway, which connects Kabul with the southern provinces, and said this route will help strengthen trade between neighbors Pakistan and Iran.
The Kabul-Ghazni highway will meanwhile have nine bridges and 594 culverts once complete.
Baradar also called on officials involved in the road project to ensure standards are maintained and a good quality road is built.

The Afghan embassy in Norway has confirmed it will close its doors on Thursday, September 12, at the request of the Norwegian government.
The announcement comes just a day after the embassy in London announced it had been given notice by the British government to close by September 27.
Both embassies were being run by diplomats appointed by the former republic government.
According to the Oslo embassy, all embassy property will be handed over to the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
No details were given as to why Norway ordered the closure of the embassy.
Afghan embassy staff at numerous missions around the world continued to operate after the fall of the previous government.
While no country has officially recognized the Islamic Emirate government, a number of them in the Middle East and Asia have accepted Islamic Emirate diplomatic representation.
Embassies in the West, appointed by the Ashraf Ghani government have mostly continued to operate.
However, at the end of July, the Islamic Emirate announced that it no longer recognizes Afghanistan’s diplomatic missions set up by the former, Western-backed government and that they will not honor passports, visas and other documents issued by diplomats associated with the previous administration.
The Islamic Emirate’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in July that documents issued by missions in London, Berlin, Belgium, Bonn, Switzerland, Austria, France, Italy, Greece, Poland, Australia, Sweden, Canada and Norway are no longer accepted
