KABUL: Acting Afghan Foreign Minister from the Taliban government, Amir Khan Muttaqi, on Wednesday met with the head of the US mission to Afghanistan, Ian McCary, in the capital of Qatar Doha, the Afghan Foreign Ministry said.
“Today is the head of the US mission for Afghan in Doha, Ian McCary, & 7-member delegates met with the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Emirates H.e.
Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi,” said Ministry spokesman Abdul Qaahar Balki said in a tweet.
Officials discussed Afghan-US relations and a number of other related problems, he added in a follow-up tweet.
Taliban took over Afghanistan in August and the US military ended the military presence for 20 years in the country.
In the following weeks, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund suspended financial assistance to the country.
In addition, the US also freezes billions of dollars in assets belonging to the Afghan central bank.
US President Joe Biden and other G20 leaders agreed during a virtual meeting to provide humanitarian assistance directly to the Afghans instead through the Taliban government.
