The first Russia to recognize the Taliban government in Afghanistan, Russia

Russia became the first country to officially recognize the Taliban rule with Afghanistan’s Amir Khan Muttaqi.

He met the Afghanistan Ambassador and Dmitry Zhirnov on Thursday. Zhirnov officially conveyed the government’s decision to recognize Afghanistan’s Islamic Emirates.

Muttaqi said that it is “a new stage of positive relationship, mutual respect, and constructive participation, and change will play a role to other countries.

Despite the report that violations of human rights are increasing, the Taliban has sought international recognition and investment since returning to power in August 2021.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement, “We believe that the official recognition of the Afghanistan Islamic Emirates will stimulate the development of productive bilateral cooperation between our country.”

Russia has seen the potential of “commercial and economy” cooperation in energy, transportation, agriculture and infrastructure, and said that Kabul will continue to fight against the threat of terrorism and drug trafficking.

Russia was one of the countries that did not close the embassy in Afghanistan in 2021, and Telegram said that “expansion of dialogue with Kabul” is important in terms of regional security and economic development.

The country was also the first player to sign an international economic contract with the Taliban in 2022, where he agreed to supply oil, gas and wheat to Afghanistan.

According to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Taliban was eliminated to open the way to establish a “full -fledged partnership” with Kabul in the list of terrorist groups in Russia in April of this year.

Russian President Vladimir Putin also referred to the Taliban as “allies” in the fight against terrorism in July last year, and the representatives traveled to Moscow in early 2018.

The two countries have a complex history for 15,000 people after the nine -year war after the Soviet Union invaded the state in 1979.

The decision to establish a Soviet support government in Kabul turned Soviet to International Paris and eventually withdrew from Afghanistan in February 1989.

The Western government and humanitarian groups have been widely criticized for their great limitations to women and girls, especially by the Taliban government, especially Sharia.

Over the past four years, women cannot access secondary and higher education, cannot leave their homes without male chaperons, and have strict costume regulations.

The bill has been made more and more limited, and the bill has become increasingly limited due to the latest installation of “virtue” law, which prohibits women to speak outside the house.

The United Nations reported that the rules correspond to the “Gender Apartheid”, while also reporting public whip and cruel attacks on all civil servants.

In 2021, the UN Security Council was strict sanctions in Afghanistan, which had about $ 9 billion in assets in 2021.

China, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan and Pakistan are all designated as Kabul, but Russia is the only country that recognizes the Taliban government after returning to power almost four years ago.
