Kazakhstan accredits diplomats of current authorities of Afghanistan

Kazakhstan’s Foreign Ministry made a positive decision in response to the request of the current authorities of Afghanistan to accredit diplomats in Astana. This was announced at a briefing by the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan Aibek Smadiyarov, Kazinform reports.

“In response to the request of the new administration of Afghanistan for accreditation of diplomats, we made a positive decision. I want to clarify the situation. With the fall of the previous regime, a vacuum of power was formed in August 2021. The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan was ceased to represent this state. The situation is complicated, the situation is complicated. But not unique, history knows many examples of a change of power in a number of states, which bears the issue of the legitimacy of new authorities, ”said Smadiyarov.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also added that the Afghan theme is still in the center of discussion of the international community.

So the other day the next meeting of the countries of Afghanistan’s neighbors in Samarkand was held. We play for a single, flourishing Afghanistan. The country is the next difficult stage in its history. The arrival of representatives of the new administration of Afghanistan does not mean recognition, this remains the prerogative of the UN, ” – – emphasized Smadiyarov.

At the same time, he recalled that the same missions are present in a number of countries – Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Russia, China, Qatar, the UAE and Pakistan.
