Nasir Faiq, Afghanistan’s representative to the United Nations, announced that the absence of a legitimate and legal government has caused Afghanistan’s international isolation.
He emphasized that Afghanistan has been absent from the UN General Assembly leaders’ meeting for the fourth consecutive year.
The Taliban group has not been recognized by the UN, and their efforts to secure Afghanistan’s seat have been unsuccessful.
Faiq warned that Afghanistan is under the rule of a regime that adheres neither to international laws nor to the interests of the Afghan people.
He noted that countries that were once optimistic about the Taliban have changed their perspectives, with even the principle of engagement now in doubt.
Manizha Bakhtari, Afghanistan’s ambassador to Austria, also emphasized that Afghanistan has fallen off the global priority list.
This year marked the 80th anniversary of the UN General Assembly’s establishment, but Afghanistan remains deprived of voting rights due to unpaid membership fees.
Afghanistan’s debt has exceeded $900,000 while the annual quota is approximately $200,000.
The Afghan people are the main losers in this situation, having lost their country’s credibility and international standing.
