Afghanistan’s Foreign Ministry expressed its approval on Monday regarding the reopening of Saudi Arabia‘s Embassy in Kabul, marking the first such event since the Taliban regained control in 2021.
On Sunday, the Saudi Embassy announced via X that it was resuming its operations “in line with the government’s commitment to provide comprehensive services to the Afghan people.”
Zia Ahmad Takal, a deputy spokesperson for Afghanistan’s Foreign Ministry, stated, “We are pleased to see the Saudi Arabian Embassy reopen in Kabul and assure them of our full cooperation and commitment to their safety.”
Takal conveyed optimism that the embassy’s reopening would enhance bilateral relations and collaboration between the two nations, while also facilitating timely responses to the needs and concerns of Afghans residing in Saudi Arabia.
Currently, no country officially recognizes the interim Taliban government, although several nations maintain diplomatic ties with them.
