Kabul:​The Taliban's Acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi urged the international community to support the removal of sanctions on the incumbent government of Afghanistan led by the group during a meeting with 14 foreign envoys, according to media reports. According to reports, the meeting took place on Wednesday in Doha.

Minister Muttaqi "explained the new Islamic government, ensuring security, ties with the international community, economic situation, sanctions imposed on Afghanistan, and the elimination of corruption" during the meeting, according to Foreign Ministry spokesman Abdul Qahar Balkhi.

"Afghanistan is witnessing its first dominant government in 40 years," the Minister was quoted as saying at the meeting. "The international community should call on the US to lift sanctions on the Afghan people's national wealth." He added that the new Afghan government "as a responsible government" had met all of the requirements and should be recognised.

The envoys urged the Taliban to follow international rules, respect human rights, ensure safe passage to Afghanistan, and eliminate terrorism during the meeting, which was reportedly mediated by the Qatari government. The Acting Foreign Minister met with Markus Potzel, Germany's Ambassador-designate to Afghanistan, earlier on Wednesday.
