Expressing his satisfaction with his visit & meetings in Afghanistan, Mr. Feridun held discussions regarding composition & recommendations of his report. Sharing his opinion, Mr. Feridun stressed on increased engagement between Afghanistan & the international community. Recalling noteworthy progress IEA has made in Afghanistan in ensuring security, countering narcotics, economy, health, transparency, governance & services, & considering these steps taken by IEA as constructive for engagement with international community, FM Muttaqi added that despite all these achievements, the international community has insisted on one-sided demands & engaged in collective punishment of the people of Afghanistan by freezing their assets & imposing sanctions, thus creating impediments for constructive interaction. To end, FM Muttaqi reiterated that Afghanistan is no longer an unsafe conflict-mirred country, but peace & a central government prevail, hence the international community should step forward vis-a-vis constructive interaction in line with the current ground realities.
IEA Foreign Minister Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi met with the Special Coordinator, Independent Assessor of the UN, Mr. Feridun Hadi Sinirlioğlu in Istanbul, Türkiye.
