KABUL, OCT 25: Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev stated that Afghanistan’s current situation should not be ignored, stressing the importance of addressing the challenges facing the country.
President Mirziyoyev said: “When it comes to global and regional security, we cannot overlook the problem of Afghanistan. Our common task is not to isolate but to help the Afghan people and the country’s de facto authorities to address the pressing problems of socio-economic development, peace building and prosperity.”
Meanwhile, Kyrgyzistan’s President Sadyr Japarov also highlighted the necessity of comprehensive support for Afghanistan and the integration of its economy with global and regional economic systems. He stressed providing foreign assistance to Afghanistan and lifting it out of international isolation.
The Kyrgyz president stated: “As a bordering country, Kyrgyzstan considers it especially important to fully support Afghanistan and the Afghan people towards integrating the country’s economy into regional and international economic processes. We cannot leave Afghanistan in international isolation without outside help.”
While the Islamic Emirate has not commented on the remarks made by Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzistan’s leaders, it has consistently praised international cooperation aimed at resolving Afghanistan’s issues.
“It is necessary to cooperate with one another, particularly the BRICS member countries, which should provide Afghanistan with more political, economic, and military support so that Afghanistan can eventually return to a normal state, meeting the needs of both BRICS and other countries,” said Moeen Gul Samkani, a political analyst.
The three-day BRICS summit, attended by leaders from 36 countries and a number of international organizations, started on Tuesday in Kazan, Russia, and concluded late Thursday.
The organization includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Ethiopia.
