Klouman expressed the global community's ongoing concern for Afghanistan, revealing plans for a significant meeting next month dedicated to the Afghan situation. He urged the Islamic Emirate to ensure education and employment opportunities for girls and women.

In response, Mawlawi Abdul Kabir clarified that the Islamic Emirate supports girls' education, emphasizing that a dedicated committee, appointed by the Islamic Emirate's leader, is actively addressing this matter. He confirmed the participation of an Islamic Emirate representative in the upcoming meeting, while also calling on European countries to reopen their embassies in Kabul.

Mawlawi Abdul Kabir asserted the Islamic Emirate's commitment to not allowing Afghan soil to be used for threatening other nations, expressing a desire for positive relations with all countries.
