Taliban Urges Reopening of Foreign Embassies in Kabul Amid Isolation

Kabul, Afghanistan:  Despite lacking official recognition from any country, the Taliban has renewed its call for the reopening of foreign embassies in Kabul. Abdul Kabir, the Taliban’s deputy chief minister for political affairs, made this appeal during a meeting with Western diplomats in Doha.

On Sunday evening, Abdul Kabir met with diplomats and chargé d’affaires from the embassies of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Italy, France, South Korea, Australia, and Germany, according to the Taliban.

Hamdullah Fitrat, a spokesperson for the Taliban, stated that the meeting emphasized their request for the restoration of diplomatic missions in Kabul.

The embassies mentioned have yet to comment on the meeting.

Abdul Kabir, who is under UN sanctions, traveled to Doha to attend the funeral of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.

As of now, no country has officially recognized the Taliban government. Many nations have avoided establishing diplomatic and consular relations with the Taliban, with international demands including the lifting of severe restrictions on women's and girls' rights and the formation of an inclusive government.

The Taliban has previously urged neighboring countries, particularly Iran, to take the lead in recognizing their regime. Nevertheless, even countries with close ties to the Taliban, such as China and Russia, have been hesitant to take this step.

In recent news, U.S. Congresswoman Nancy Mace introduced a bill last Thursday in the House of Representatives to designate the Taliban as a terrorist organization. She has voiced her opposition to recognizing the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.

The bill calls on the U.S. Secretary of State to designate the Taliban as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a regime that supports terrorism.
