The United Nations Security Council will convene a closed-door meeting on Afghanistan on Monday (February 26). It is expected that the proposed UN envoy for Afghanistan will be discussed.

The Islamic Emirate said that the United Nations should concentrate on resolving issues between the Afghan government and the UN and international community, rather than wasting time on non-important issues.

The spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate said that the UN should not prevent the Islamic Emirate’s diplomatic engagement with the world.

“Sanctions should be lifted, blacklists should be removed, and frozen assets should be released; the United Nations should work on these issues. The United Nations can also encourage other countries to engage with the Islamic Emirate and should not prevent diplomatic engagement of other countries with Afghanistan,” said Zabiullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate.

Earlier, Naseer Ahmad Faiq, chargé d'affaires of Afghanistan's Permanent Mission to the UN said that the UN secretary general will present his Afghanistan report to the council and will discuss the appointment of a UN special representative for the country.

“The UN should plan in a way that Afghanistan does not get in trouble in large international programs so that it does not become a battlefield again,” said Moeen Gul Samkanai, a political analyst.

“The United Nations' consecutive meetings on Afghanistan mean that this country has not been forgotten about, this is good and will benefit Afghanistan. This will also lead to further international assistance to Afghanistan,” said Wahid Faqiri, a political analyst.
