The Islamic Emirate said that in addition to the current government’s embassies’ operations in sixteen nations, their attachés are also active in the political, cultural, commercial, and immigrant sectors.
The spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, Zabihullah Mujahid, said that some attachés are from the previous government and some have been introduced by the Islamic Emirate.
“In some countries, attachés of the previous government are employed, while in other countries, newly appointed attachés have been sent; the majority of them are cultural, economic, commercial, and immigrant attachés who take care of things well,” Mujahid said.
In the meantime, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce said that they will soon introduce their new attachés to China and Kazakhstan.
“So far, we have been able to introduce seven attachés to the countries of Pakistan, Iran, Turkmenistan, and Turkey, and soon new attachés will be introduced to China and Kazakhstan,” said Akhundzada Abdul Salam Javad, a spokesman of the ministry.
Some analysts said that Afghanistan will benefit from the appointment of attachés in various sectors.
“Anyone who is introduced must be an expert and should be introduced based on his/her expertise,” Mohammad Ajmal Zurmati, a political analyst told TOLOnews.
“In addition to being beneficial to our country, it can be very effective in establishing relations between Afghan citizens who live in other countries,” Mohammad Ferdous Behguzin, an economist said.
Earlier, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Islamic Emirate announced the appointment of trade attachés to Turkey.
