The Ministry said that the delegation members and the envoys “condemned attacks in Afghanistan that target civilians and civilian infrastructure, and stressed not allowing the soil of Afghanistan be used by any groups or individuals to threaten the security of other countries”.

Besides the meeting with the Gulf envoys, the Ministry said that the delegation is also scheduled to hold talks with representatives of the European Union, the Union of Religious Scholars, and diplomatic missions operating from Qatar on behalf of Kabul, TOLO News reported.

This will be the second time that the Muttaqi-led delegation will meet European representatives following the Oslo talks last month.

Last month, the delegation made two foreign trips to Norway and Iran.

Late last year, the Foreign Minister had also visited Pakistan and Turkey.
