The Pakistani Foreign Minister called for the easing of Western sanctions against Afghanistan under the Taliban government, saying the basic function of the Afghan economy should not be endangered.
Last year’s Taliban takeover encouraged foreign governments, led by the United States, to cut the development and security assistance, and strict sanctions enforcement had weakened the country’s banking sector.
In an interview with Welt German newspaper published on Thursday, Hina Foreign Minister Rabbani Khar said that he isolating Afghanistan economically pushing the country into economic collapse.
If the country remains locked from international banking and its foreign assets remain frozen, then that is what will happen. We must not promote hunger,” he added.
Khar said the withdrawal of Western forces from Afghanistan, where Germany was also involved, had a serious impact because it was not preceded by a negotiated solution, calling for Germany to play an active political role in relieving sanctions.
In the current situation, it is not a good idea to continue to starve Afghanistan and take the risk of economic explosions in the country, “he said, adding that economic support is needed to help the Afghan people.
How could we spend $ 3 trillion in war, but today it doesn’t even have $ 10 billion for the survival of Afghanistan? I don’t understand this behavior,” he added
