| Referring to the upcoming meeting in Qatar for Afghanistan, the spokesman of the White House clarified that nothing has changed about the US policy regarding the Taliban. |
According to the regional office of Tasnim News Agency, “John Kirby, the strategic communications coordinator of the White House’s National Security Council, stated in a press conference that nothing has changed about the US policy on the Taliban.
He answered this question. What are the expectations of the American government from the Doha meeting and does it see this as a move to normalize the Taliban, he said: “There is no attempt by the American government to normalize relations or recognize the Taliban.”
Karbi added: “The United States has repeatedly said that if the Taliban government wants to be seen as legitimate rulers, they must fulfill all the commitments they have made”.
Sefid went on to emphasize that the Taliban have not yet fulfilled their commitments.
“Zabihullah Mujahid”, the spokesperson of the Taliban government, had previously said in a press conference, America not only does not act for the recognition of the ruling body of Afghanistan, but also prevents its international recognition”.
The second meeting of the special representatives of the countries on Afghanistan affairs is scheduled to be held in Doha on Sunday and Monday next week (29 and 30 Bahman).
This meeting will be hosted by “Antonio Guterres”, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and the recommendations of the “Afghanistan Independent Assessment” report will be reviewed based on UN Security Council Resolution 2721.
Earlier, UN officials in Afghanistan said that one of the topics of this meeting is to examine the issue of recognizing the Taliban government; However, Kabul officials have doubts about this and emphasize that they will be willing to participate in the meeting after the composition and agenda are clarified.
