The acting minister of Interior, Sirajuddin Haqqani, in a meeting with Tadamichi Yamamoto, the former head of the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), and the president of Sasakawa Peace Foundation, Atsushi Sunami, said that restrictions imposed by foreigners are causing the tragedy of humanitarian needs.

According to the statement, Sirajuddin Haqqani said: “The visit of experts from Sasakawa Peace Foundation was positive and we hope that these organizations will present a real picture of the country’s situation to others and that prolonged political issues can be resolved through dialogue, understanding and bilateral relations.”

The spokesman of interior ministry, Abdul Mateen Qani, said that during the meeting Haqqani noted that the basic human needs of Afghans should be evaluated separately from political issues.

“The acting interior minister hoped that such organization can present a real picture of the current situation of the country to others,” the spokesman noted.

The Ministry of Interior noted that Tadamichi Yamamoto emphasized in this meeting that in order to solve the problems of Afghanistan, it is necessary to hold various meetings between non-governmental organizations and officials of government institutions.

Abdul Mateen Qani noted that Atsushi Sunami also said that Afghanistan’s problems can be solved by considering different ways and that the existing gap between Afghanistan and the world will dissolve.

“I’m sure that the international community will be obliged to interact with the Islamic Emirate, recognize it, and remove their leaders’ name from the black list, due to the ongoing work in the construction and other sections,” said Gul Mohammaddin Mohammadi, a political analyst.

“Meetings among Islamic Emirate officials and the officials of UNAMA, other representatives of the UN, and elders and ambassadors of world countries, can help the Islamic Emirate to get rid of the current isolation,” said Mohammad Hassan Haqyar, another political analyst.

Meanwhile, Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, in a meeting with Tadamichi Yamamoto, and Atsushi Sunami, requested Japan’s cooperation in the fields of education, agriculture, health and environmental protection.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wrote in a statement that the former head of UNAMA said that Japan is cooperating with humanitarian aid in building trust and relations between the current government and the international community.
