Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ of the Islamic Emirate expresses disappointment at adoption of Resolution 2721 requesting UN Secretary General to appoint a Special Envoy (SE) to Afghanistan despite existence of division among permanent members of the UNSC.
It is noteworthy that the Council adopted this resolution even though two permanent members of the UNSC requested more time for deliberations & clarifications regarding assessment of the Special Coordinator, & without any prior consultations with the Afghan government.
The government of Afghanistan reiterates that the appointment of an additional SE for Afghanistan in the presence of UNAMA is unnecessary as Afghanistan is not a conflict zone & is ruled by a central government that is able to secure its national interests, fulfill its obligations & manage all affairs through bilateral & multilateral mechanisms. Moreover, SE’s throughout contemporary history of Afghanistan & the world have not only failed to resolve any conflicts, but have complicated situations further via imposition of external solutions.
While welcoming all attempts of a more robust & enhanced engagement with Afghanistan by the UN, the approach of the government of Afghanistan will ultimately be guided by the unaltered religious beliefs, cultural values & national interests of the people of Afghanistan.
Accordingly, we call on the United Nations to consider ground realities when making decisions about Afghanistan and not be influenced by any party.
