RASC News Agency: The recent declaration by the political deputy of the Taliban sheds light on their perspective regarding recognition by the international community. Mawlawi Abdul Kabir, in his statement on January 18th, asserts that although the world may not explicitly acknowledge the Taliban, their actions carry more weight than words. He cites the reopening of embassies, ports, and trade routes as indicative of the world’s tacit acknowledgment of the group.
During the inauguration ceremony of 30 graduates from religious schools in the Taliban-controlled stronghold, Abdul Kabir emphasized the implementation of the group’s foreign policy. He highlighted the establishment of positive relations with neighboring countries, the region, and the global community. Additionally, he stated that the Taliban currently maintains political representatives in 17 countries, further solidifying their presence on the international stage.
These statements offer insight into the Taliban’s perception of their global standing. While the world refrains from overtly recognizing the group, Abdul Kabir’s remarks underscore their confidence in their foreign policy and efforts to foster diplomatic ties worldwide.
The assertions made by the Taliban’s political deputy arise at a juncture when no country has officially acknowledged the administration of this group for over two years. The international community underscores the significance of upholding human rights, particularly women’s rights, respecting the rights of religious and ethnic minorities, and establishing an inclusive government as pivotal conditions for recognizing the Taliban.
