Afghanistan asserts its readiness to interact internationally, facing challenges from certain nations, as highlighted by UNAMA’s Roza Otunbayeva. Deputy spokesperson Hamdullah Fitrat emphasizes Afghanistan’s commitment and calls for impartial UN decisions to advance international relations.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has reacted to remarks made by Roza Otunbayeva, the head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), during her briefing at the United Nations Security Council. While expressing its willingness to engage with the international community, Afghanistan emphasized that certain countries are obstructing these efforts.
Otunbayeva highlighted that the responsibility lies with the Islamic Emirate to establish relations with the international community. She suggested that fulfilling international obligations would facilitate political progress and benefit the Afghan populace. Despite this, she noted a growing disappointment from the international community towards the Islamic Emirate.
In an audio statement, Hamdullah Fitrat, the deputy spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, asserted Afghanistan’s commitment to fostering international interaction as crucial for the country. He expressed a desire for Afghanistan to reclaim its rightful place within the United Nations, yet lamented the existing obstacles posed by certain nations.
Fitrat urged the United Nations to exercise independence from the influences of powerful countries when making decisions impacting Afghanistan. He argued that for Afghanistan to fully integrate into the international community, fairness and impartiality in UN decisions are essential. He pointed out that if the decisions of the UN continue to be swayed by nations with a history of involvement in Afghan conflicts, the progress towards international engagement would be hindered, which suggests that the impediments lie with those countries, rather than Afghanistan itself.
In conclusion, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has voiced its commitment to engaging with the international community and fulfilling its obligations. Despite these intentions, obstacles from certain nations continue to impede progress. The call for the UN to act independently highlights the ongoing complexities of Afghanistan’s international relations. For genuine advancement, impartial decision-making on the part of the UN is critical to allowing Afghanistan to reclaim its place on the world stage.
