Story summary
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar addressed the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC)'s Contact Group on Afghanistan meeting in New York on Tuesday. The session took place alongside the 81st United Nations General Assembly. Dar highlighted that the situation in Afghanistan requires sustained focus, especially concerning regional peace, security, and stability. He noted that August 2021 marked a significant change when US troops withdrew from Afghanistan and the Taliban reclaimed control of Kabul.
Pakistan was the first nation to welcome Afghan refugees after the Taliban's return to power, according to Dar. Additionally, Pakistan hosted an OIC session in December 2021 aimed at mobilizing support for addressing humanitarian issues in Afghanistan. Dar expressed disappointment that the Taliban had not fulfilled their commitments regarding international obligations, terrorism prevention, inclusivity, and human rights protection for Afghan citizens. He urged the OIC to encourage the Taliban to adhere to these promises, curb illegal trafficking, lift restrictions on women's freedoms, and reassess policies impacting ordinary Afghans' basic liberties.
