The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has hailed Acting Foreign Minister Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi’s recent visit to Saudi Arabia as a significant milestone in bolstering bilateral relations between the two nations.

The trip, announced by Zabihullah Mujahid, the Islamic Emirate’s spokesperson, via social media, is being viewed as a clear signal of both countries’ dedication to deepening diplomatic and economic ties.

According to Mujahid, the warm welcome and high-level protocol accorded to Muttaqi by Saudi officials during the visit highlight the kingdom’s goodwill and constructive approach toward Afghanistan. The spokesperson emphasized that the engagement reflects a mutual interest in fostering stronger cooperation.

The Saudi visit follows Muttaqi’s earlier meeting in Kabul with Saeed Mohammed Al-Kaabi, the United Arab Emirates’ Special Envoy for Afghanistan. While details of the discussions remain undisclosed, these diplomatic engagements underscore Afghanistan’s efforts to strengthen its relationships with key regional players amid ongoing efforts to stabilize and rebuild the country.

The Islamic Emirate continues to position such high-profile visits as pivotal steps in expanding its international outreach, with Saudi Arabia emerging as a critical partner in this endeavor. (ILKHA)
