"VAN" (International Desk - 18.09.2024) :: The Taliban administration announced on Tuesday, September 17, that its diplomats had been posted to Oman to reopen the Afghanistan embassy.
Hafiz Zia Ahmad Takal, a spokesman for Afghanistan’s foreign ministry, stated on social media that the embassy in Muscat officially reopened last Sunday.
Takal emphasized that the embassy’s reopening, with the Omani government’s cooperation, will help strengthen political, economic, social, and religious relations between Kabul and Muscat.
Despite such diplomatic developments, the Taliban regime remains unrecognized by the international community. Regional countries like China, Pakistan, and several Central Asian nations (excluding Tajikistan) have engaged in unofficial diplomatic ties with the Taliban.
Turkey has also maintained unofficial contact with the Taliban, focusing on humanitarian support and regional security, but refrains from official recognition of the regime.
The international community continues to pressure the Taliban to respect human rights, including women’s rights, and to ensure ethnic and religious diversity is represented in governance.
Global powers urge the Taliban to form an inclusive government that reflects Afghanistan’s various ethnic groups, ensuring fair representation for all communities.
