Qatari officials added that the people of Afghanistan need help and support more than ever in the current situation.
The Wall Street Journal reported that according to some Qatari officials, the Gulf States played essential role in bringing the longest American war in Afghanistan to an end.
Qatari officials added that the people of Afghanistan need help and support more than ever in the current situation. According to WSJ report, Qatari officials stated that their interactions with the Islamic Emirate have only one objective: to raise the standard of living for the Afghan people.
They also stated that not interacting with Afghanistan will increase despair, poverty and extremism in the country. However, analysts have different views about the issue.
“Qatar and other countries involved in Afghanistan are seeking their own interests or the interests of other major countries,” said Mohammad Khan Andar, a political analyst.
“Qatar has had relationships with the Taliban for many years and its goal is to reform and better Afghanistan,” said Torek Farhadi, a political analyst. “The welcoming of the defense minister of the Islamic Emirate by the Emir of Qatar means the expansion of relations between the two countries.” Qatar is one of the countries that has close relations with the Islamic Emirate. This country has hosted talks between the US and the Taliban for nearly two years that led to the signing of an agreement between the two sides.—Tolo News
