The Islamic Emirate has welcomed the remarks of the President of Kyrgyzstan, who said that the security of Central Asia is linked to Afghanistan’s political stability.
The deputy spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate said that other countries in the region should also understand that Afghanistan plays a constructive role in regional political stability.
Hamdullah Fitrat added that the Islamic Emirate currently maintains positive relations with all regional countries, including Kyrgyzstan, in various fields.He said:
“We support the constructive view of the President of Kyrgyzstan regarding Afghanistan and welcome his position. Other countries should also understand this reality that Afghanistan plays an important role in regional stability. Afghanistan is committed to its responsibilities in regional stability, security, and economic connectivity. We currently have good and constructive relations with neighboring and regional countries, including Kyrgyzstan, and we aim to further expand and strengthen these relations in various sectors.”
The President of Kyrgyzstan, Sadyr Japarov, speaking at a meeting on the election of non-permanent members of the UN Security Council, said that if Kyrgyzstan secures membership, it will pay special attention to the situation in Afghanistan.
He stated that Kyrgyzstan’s position is that Central Asia’s security is tied to Afghanistan’s stability and that the country supports the gradual integration of Afghanistan into the international community in economic and political terms.
He also said that Kyrgyzstan continues to provide assistance to Afghans, especially women and children.
President Japarov further said:
“Kyrgyzstan plans to give special attention to the situation in Afghanistan. Our position is that the security of Central Asia is linked to the stability of this country. We have consistently supported Afghans, especially women and children, and we support the gradual economic and political integration of Afghanistan into the international community.”
Japarov also criticized double standards among countries in the UN Security Council and the politicization of humanitarian issues, saying the Council’s mechanisms often focus on minor issues instead of core problems.
He added that if the current unequal structure of the Security Council continues, along with the exclusion of small, landlocked, and developing countries, it will harm the collective security system.
Political analyst Khalil Ahmad Nadem said:
“If there is stability and security in Afghanistan, there will also be stability in Central Asia. Likewise, their economic growth is linked to Afghanistan’s stability. If Afghanistan develops economically, there is no doubt these countries will also develop.”
Analysts say that strengthening political and economic relations with Kyrgyzstan and other Central Asian countries as a developing state is in Afghanistan’s interest.
They believe that leveraging the Central Asian bloc’s current engagement could bring positive changes in relations between the Islamic Emirate and the wider world through regional meetings.
Political analyst Sher Hassan Hassan said:
“Regional cooperation is very important for security in Afghanistan. Strengthening this security, and involving Afghanistan in political and economic affairs, will further enhance stability. When a country’s interests are economically linked with Afghanistan, that country becomes more interested in Afghanistan’s security.”
The report comes as the current government, since coming to power, has consistently called for good relations based on mutual respect with neighboring and regional countries, including Central Asia, and continues to uphold this position.
