Taliban Wants to Discuss With US Recognition of Its Gov’t and Unfreezing of Afghan Assets
10:04 GMT 24.11.2021 (Updated: 13:26 GMT 06.08.2022) MOSCOW (Sputnik) -The Taliban* wants to discuss with the United States in Doha the issues of recognition of their government, the US participation in the reconstruction of Afghanistan, and unfreezing of Afghan assets, spokesman Suhail Shaheen said on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, the Taliban confirmed that the new round of negotiations with the US will start in Qatar next week.
"They can participate in the reconstruction of Afghanistan and make investments in our country and also unfreeze the reserves of the Afghanistan bank; recognize the government of the Islamic State of Afghanistan because it is very necessary for mutual relations and for their investment in the country. So these are the topics to be discussed," Shaheen said.
After the Taliban* seized power in Afghanistan in the middle of August, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund suspended financial aid which had previously accounted for nearly 75% of Afghanistan's public expenditure, while the US froze billions of dollars in assets belonging to the Afghan Central Bank.
