The Deputy Foreign Minister, Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai, said that Afghanistan is not involved in any terrorist activity in the region, especially in neighboring countries.

Speaking at an event in Kabul marking the 20th anniversary of Kam Air Airlines in Afghanistan, Stanikzai noted that the world has understood that there is no other alternative for Afghanistan except the Islamic Emirate.

“It is recorded in history that no Afghan has ever been involved in terrorist attacks outside of Afghanistan. It was foreigners who came to our homeland and created these problems,” Stanikzai noted.

He also called on the international community, including those who were involved in war for the “past 20 years in Afghanistan” to return and take part in its reconstruction, and that doing so is “their obligation.”

“Those countries that had military forces in Afghanistan and used any kind of weapons in Afghanistan, it is obligatory for them, and according to the Doha agreement, they are also obliged to come to Afghanistan and help in the reconstruction of Afghanistan,” Stanikzai said.

The deputy foreign minister once again asked the countries not to interfere in the internal affairs of Afghanistan.

“Afghanistan has never been a haven for terrorism, Afghanistan has never had such facilities to launch attacks on another country from its soil, and it has not funded or equipped the forty-five-year war in any way,” Yusuf Aminzada, a military analyst told TOLOnews.

This official of the Foreign Ministry further said that the Islamic Emirate accepts criticism but will not allow any elements to damage the interim government through their criticism.

Stanikzai placed emphasis on allocating Iran’s water rights once the Helmand River’s water level rises.
