  • Afghan Taliban seek to end international isolation

The Taliban interim government in Afghanistan has signaled that the country wants to end its international isolation, following Russia's recent recognition of the Islamist group's rule. The interim government's economy minister expressed hope that Russia would extend economic cooperation with investment and development of the country's mineral resources.

The minister said they will also request other countries including Japan to recognize their government. He said they expect that Japanese companies will invest in Afghanistan, as the security situation is good. The minister denied that women's human rights are being violated in Afghanistan, and said the country's religious customs should be respected.
