The Islamic Emirate said that they will participate in future meetings if the United Nations accepts their conditions.

The spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate told TOLOnews that the second Doha meeting failed because Kabul did not participate in the meeting. 

“If the Islamic Emirate’s requests are accepted and are considered important, we will undoubtedly participate in meetings in the future,” Zabiullah Mujahid, the spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate, told TOLOnews.

Following the second Doha meeting, the foreign ministry of Russia said that any meeting without the support of Kabul and regional countries will be a “failure”.

“Any initiative, be it the establishment of a new post or format, is doomed to failure without the support of Kabul and regional states. It was noted that the accession of ‘extra-regionals’ is possible only on the condition that the US and NATO take primary responsibility for the current state of affairs in Afghanistan and the post-conflict reconstruction of this country, return blocked assets to Kabul and lift restrictions on banking transactions,” Anadolu News Agency quoted Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova as saying.

“The goals that were established at the meeting do not seem to be achieved. Efforts should be made to make future meetings fruitful,” said Moeen Gul Samkanai, a political analyst.

Qatar’s foreign ministry said that they are willing to join the UN in cooperating with Afghanistan.

“We are proud to cooperate with Afghanistan alongside the United Nations. Qatar will support UN’s recommendations about Afghanistan,” said Majed Al Ansari, the spokesperson for the ministry of foreign affairs of Qatar.

The EU’s special representative for Afghanistan on X said that he found a strong commitment to Afghanistan and its people and a wish to engage for and support a future Afghanistan at peace with itself, the region and the international community.

Tomas Niklasson added that the achievements by the de facto authorities of Afghanistan to radically reduce poppy cultivation and their efforts to rehabilitate people with a drug addiction were welcomed in the meeting.
