KABUL, 07 May 2022, (TON): Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) said it is ready to negotiate with the United States on issues of an external nature. US suspended talks with IEA in March after it reversed a decision to allow girls to return to secondary school.
Bilal Karimi, deputy spokesman said “IEA believed in negotiation and dialogue with all parties including the US since the very beginning. We are ready to negotiate on issues having external dimension with all parties.”
He said “I am sure problems and concerns can be resolved through talks.”
The official said that the international community continues to engage with the IEA to some extent, as he referred to the operation of the EU embassy in Kabul and the World Bank’s resumption of work on some projects in Afghanistan.
He stressed “humanitarian issues should be separate from political issues. Experts believe that apart from the issue of girls’ education, IEA’s warm relations with China and Russia have also affected its ties with the West.”
