Doha: Taliban has urged the United States to revoke the reserves of the Afghan central bank, during the first direct meeting in Qatar after the takeover of Kabul in August.
Both parties on Saturday held their first meeting in Doha to change the “new page on their relationship”.
This was the first in-person meeting between the two parties since the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in mid-August.
The Taliban acts Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi said that they wanted to be involved with the international community and would not support one country and fight others.
“The need to establish a good positive relationship with each other on the same basis is being emphasized in the discussion.
We emphasize the need for the inconvenience of Afghan financial assets after a difficult state faced by Afghanistan,” said Minister of Foreign Affairs, as quoted by America (VOA).
“We clearly told [America] that no one had benefited from an unstable Afghanistan, so no one had to try to weaken the Afghan government or the current fuel problem for our Afghans who had struggled economically,” said Muttaqi.
Recently, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has accommodated funds to Afghanistan amid increasing uncertainty in this country.
Developments came after the IMF recently announced the allocation of special image rights of USD 650 billion (SDR) for member countries, but Afghanistan currently will not be allowed to access these funds, Tolo News reported.
Last month, IMF spokesman Gerry Rice said at a press conference that Afghanistan would not have access to this grant due to uncertainty over the Afghan government.
