The Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Tajikistan met with the Ambassador of Afghanistan.
According to Afghan media, on October 27, 2024, the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Tajikistan in Malaysia, Ardasher Kodiri, met with the Ambassador of Afghanistan in Malaysia, Nakibullah Ahmadi.
It is reported that the event was organized at the suggestion of the Afghan Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.
“The Ambassador of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in Kuala Lumpur, Nakibullah Ahmadi, met with the ambassadors of Russia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, and Kyrgyzstan,” the report notes.
The ambassadors of these countries also took several joint photographs and published them on social media. In one of the photographs, the Ambassador of Tajikistan in Malaysia, Ardasher Kodiri, is seen standing to the right of Nakibullah Ahmadi.
Two months ago, local and foreign media reported that the head of the State National Security Committee, Saymumin Yatimov, visited Kabul on an official trip in August 2024. The purpose of his visit was to strengthen bilateral relations with the Taliban security forces and to secure the release of some Tajik special services agents detained by the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Also, in mid-October, when the President of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, made a working trip to the city of Khorog and the regions of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region, some reports indicated that Tajik special services held negotiations with the Taliban government. To ensure the safety of the President of Tajikistan, Tajik special services requested permission to deploy one of the deputies of the head of the State National Security Committee of Tajikistan, Saymumin Yatimov, and 50 special forces soldiers in Afghanistan, in the border area with GBAO. It was noted that this group would remain there until the end of Rahmon’s working trip.
Although representatives of the Tajik authorities conduct official and unofficial negotiations at various levels with representatives of the Taliban government in Afghanistan, the Supreme Court of Tajikistan still considers the Taliban movement a terrorist organization, and all forms of relations between the citizens of the country and the Taliban are prohibited.
