At the same meeting, Imangali Tasmagambetov, the secretary general of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), also made a claim. He stated that despite positive changes in Afghanistan, the threat of terrorism remains undiminished. He added that radical ideologies and organized drug trafficking in the region also continue to pose significant threats.
Imangali Tasmagambetov stated: “We are also pointing to other challenges, such as competition over natural resources. In this region, water issues, in particular, could lead to inter-state conflicts.”
The Islamic Emirate has yet to comment on these statements. However, it has consistently dismissed concerns about terrorism and narcotics issues in the country, asserting that it is combating these issues seriously.
Edris Mohammadi Zazai, a political analyst, stated that terrorism poses an international problem. He emphasized that the global community must stand alongside the Islamic Emirate to combat it and create opportunities for effective cooperation against terrorism.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Minister also highlighted the importance of maintaining constructive dialogue with Afghanistan’s current government, seeing it as beneficial to the country’s security, economic development, and national unity.
