KABUL: After taking over Afghanistan and announced the government in a problematic country, the Taliban regime faced the challenge of obtaining recognition, local media reported on Monday.
Taliban last week formed a temporary “Islamic Emirate”, appointed a hardline in his new government which oversees a 20-year fight against a US-led military coalition.
The recovery of Islamic Emirates could be the second main obstacle in the world recognition of the Taliban government, the Daily Times reported.
According to publication, the world will wait to assess if the Taliban respect their commitment to a guarantee to stop foreign militant groups including Al-Qaeda from using Afghan land against the US and its allies.
Previously, the Taliban authorities issued an Afghan national flag from the Presidential Palace and lifted their flag over the palace.
Meanwhile, Russia, United States, Japan, Canada, France, Britain has stated that these countries do not plan to recognize the government formed by the Taliban.
Pakistan is one of the three countries that recognizes the previous Taliban government (1996-2001) but it seems that the country is in no hurry to recognize the new Taliban government and will wait to see friendly countries and others.
The other is Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, the Daily Times reported.
Qatar, which is considered the only country that is very close to the Taliban, also has not provided an indication to recognize the regime.
In addition, the prime minister of the new Taliban government was appointed Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund met with Foreign Minister Qatar Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani.
Al-Thani arrived in Kabul on Sunday to meet with Taliban leaders, Sputnik reported.
During the meeting held at the Afghan Presidential Palace, both parties discussed bilateral relations, humanitarian aid, Afghan’s economic development in the future and international involvement with the Afghan Islamic Emirates.
The visit came a few days after the Taliban announced a caregiver government in Afghanistan on September 7.
