Interaction with new US administration:

Suhail Shaheen, IEA Political Office head in Qatar, said that the acting Afghan government hoped for improvement in relationships with the new US administration.

He said that Donald Trump was a realistic person and hoped that he would be realistic in addressing the existing challenges.

Deputy Acting Foreign Minister Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai said that the acting Afghan government hoped that the US would reconsider its existing policy towards Afghanistan.

Mawlavi Abdul Kabir, deputy acting prime minister for political affairs, said that IEA wanted cordial relationships with all countries in the framework of Islamic rules and regulations.

But according to reports White House Spokesperson Vedant Patel said that the IEA government would not be recognized until it continued to keep half of its population in isolation and denied their social integration.

This comes when IEA repeatedly said that women’s rights were protected in the framework of Islamic Sharia Law and other countries should not interfere in the internal matters of Afghanistan.
