During a meeting with Raffaella Iodice, Charge d’Affaires of the EU Delegation to Afghanistan, Sirajuddin Haqqani, Taliban’s Interior Minister, asked for the Taliban government's inclusion in “important international Orgnisations”.

Haqqani told Iodice that the inclusion of Taliban-controlled Afghanistan in these institutions would make it easy to address issues of concern.

Based on the statement of the Taliban's Ministry of Interior, Haqqani said that with the inclusion of the group in international institutions, "Afghans will get their real representation".

No country recognises the Taliban government, and the group has not received invitations to participate in meetings of international organisations, including the United Nations.

In a part of this statement released today, the Taliban’s Interior Minister has been quoted as saying, "Afghanistan is swiftly progressing towards political and economic stability after enduring decades of instability."

As per the statement, Iodice also discussed the upcoming meeting of the countries involved in the Afghanistan issue, in Doha, which is scheduled to be held next month.
