IEA should accept world’s demands for the interests of Afghanistan: Guterres

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The United Nations Secretary-General has called on the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan to accept the demands of the international community
for the interests of Afghanistan.In a press conference, the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged the IEA to form an inclusive
government and respect the rights of women and girls, especially in the field of work and education.According to Guterres, the compliance of
the new rulers to the rightful demands of the international community is in the interest of Afghanistan and will lead the country to
progress and prosperity.&We have different ethnic groups and it is important that all ethnic groups are representatives in Afghanistan,&
said Guterres.&Women and girls& rights, the rights of women to work and the rights of girls to attend school at all levels without
discrimination,& he added.The formation of an inclusive government is one of the basic demands of countries in the region and the
international community in Afghanistan.The IEA officials meanwhile said this demand was an interference in the internal affairs of
Afghanistan.&We believe in having good relations with all countries; isolation policies that had no results in the past will not have any
results now either,& said Bilal Karimi, deputy spokesman of IEA.The US State Department has said that the US is not ready to improve
relations with the Afghan government until they actually fulfill and live up to their commitments to the international community.The US,
however, has given more than one billion dollars to Afghanistan in aid since the IEA returned to power in August last year.The post IEA
