Saturday, 14 May 2022 (YJC)_ The Russian foreign minister said that the main task of rebuilding Afghanistan should be left to the United States and its allies, who for 20 years did nothing but guarantee their military presence, which ultimately failed to achieve this goal.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stressed the need to rebuild Afghanistan in a press conference before the start of the summit of the diplomatic missions of the two countries in Dushanbe.
He said in a speech:
When we talk about Afghanistan, it must be rebuilt, we must not allow the situation in this country to collapse again and become unstable.
Lavrov added:
This will be very difficult for the people of Afghanistan, who have suffered from NATO for 20 years and have not invested a single rial in infrastructure that will allow them to create new jobs, revive the economy, transport and foreign relations.
He mentioned:
Now, the international community must pay more attention to the modernization of humanitarian aid, etc. for Afghanistan and its people.
According to Lavrov; The main task of rebuilding Afghanistan must be left to the United States and its allies, who for 20 years have done nothing but guarantee their military presence, which they ultimately failed to achieve.
Lavrov said of the Taliban:
We have talked to the Taliban, including in a meeting with our Chinese friends, who claim that Tajiks, Uzbeks and Hazaras are in their government.
Emphasizing the need to expand this process, he said that our Chinese counterparts, with whom we work in various forms on the resolution of the Afghan crisis, are taking the same position, and we call on all other parties, including Pakistan, to Participate in this process.
Lavrov continued:
We expect our allies in Tajikistan, which has significant influence in northern Afghanistan, to help us achieve these common goals that all countries in the region are interested in achieving.
