(WNAM Monitoring): This conversation emphasized that without a coordinated global community stance on Afghanistan, helping establish peace and stability in the country is impossible.
The Uzbek Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in a declaration that both parties stressed the importance of the United Nations’ role in Afghanistan and the coordination of international efforts.
The President of Uzbekistan had previously stated that with the intensification of conflicts in other parts of the world, Afghanistan’s problems are becoming increasingly overlooked by the international community.
Shavkat Mirziyoyev, at the summit of the Organization of Turkic States in Astana, emphasized the importance of creating a mechanism to solve the problems of the Afghan people.
Shavkat Mirziyoyev said at this meeting: “Establishing peace and security in the multiethnic land of Afghanistan, whose history is inseparably linked with the Turkic nations for thousands of years, is the primary condition for ensuring strategic stability and security in our region.
Uzbekistan, like other countries, does not recognize the Taliban and, despite criticizing the group for building the Qush Tepa canal, has maintained its relations with the Taliban.
