KABUL, 31 May 2022, (TON): Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman urged Western countries to ramp up engagement with the Islamic Emirate and warned that failure to do so would risk Afghanistan falling into deeper chaos and cause extremism to rise.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman, who is also deputy Prime Minister of Qatar, made the remarks to the Financial Times.
The Qatar foreign minister said “we will see maybe a rise of extremism. We will start to see an economic crisis, which has already started, and this will just drive the people to more radicalization and conflict.”
The Islamic Emirate welcomed the remarks made by the Qatari official.
Inamullah Samangani, deputy spokesman for the Islamic Emirate said “we want foreign countries to take practical steps that are in the interest of all and to respect the basic right of the government and people of Afghanistan.”
