IEA MoFA calls on UNSC not to use sanctions as pressure tool.

It was agreed in the Doha Agreement that all sanctions shall be removed from IEA leadership, a clause that should be implemented in full. If the travel ban is extended, it will create distance instead of promoting dialogue & engagement, an outcome that must be prevented. UNSC member states should know that some bigoted western circles are deliberately trying to create distance between Afghanistan & the world, & are provoking Afghans to take a stern stance in response which is not in the interest of anyone. An Afghanistan where US, NATO & fifty nations with full strength failed to establish peace & stability, today’s security & stability therein is in the interest of the whole world.
