Uzbekistan’s representative stated that the country is unwilling to recognise the Taliban administration in Afghanistan.

In an interview with Voice of America (VOA), Ismatulla Irgashev, the Uzbek president’s special representative for Afghanistan, said it would be impossible for the new Kabul government to get international recognition any time soon, according to Tolo News.

“On our own, we will not recognise them,” he remarked. “When it happens, we want a united front.”

While supporting further contact with the Taliban, Irgashev stated that Tashkent is dedicated to formal recognition only in collaboration with the international community, according to Tolo News.

While stressing the importance of forming an inclusive administration in Afghanistan, envoys from Russia, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan stated terrorist operations in Afghanistan are a threat to the region.

“Because the Taliban leadership has not fulfilled any of its obligations to the international community for over eight months, the quick departure of foreign troops from Afghanistan and the ascent of the Taliban has intensified the threats against Russia and Central Asian countries. Above all else. Following the political shift in Afghanistan, neither women nor members of religious or ethnic minorities are allowed to serve in the government “Director of the Center for European-Asian Studies, Andrey Rusakov, stated.

“The Taliban have been part of the Afghan people since the takeover and must respect religious freedom and equality,” the Uzbek envoy added. “It is apparent that this freedom has evolved equally in Uzbekistan and other countries over the last 30 years.”

The development of a “inclusive” administration, protection of women’s rights, and efforts to ensure that Afghan land does not become a base for foreign terrorists are the three prerequisites most world nations identify for recognising the Taliban authority in Afghanistan.
