KABUL (Ariana News): Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee of Congress, has said the suggestion that there is any possibility for engagement with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) is a slap in the face of the Afghan people.
McCaul said this in response to US Charge d’Affaires Karen Decker’s statement about engaging with the IEA.
Decker had said on Friday that there was strong support among civil society representatives in Istanbul for the UN-led process to reintegrate Afghanistan into the international community.
“Lots of talent and energy here ready to support a political roadmap and engagement with the Taliban (IEA). Afghanistan needs all its people to thrive,” she added on X.
McCaul was quoted by the House of Foreign Affairs Committee on X as saying: “The suggestion that there is any possibility for engagement with the Taliban (IEA) is a slap in the face to the people of Afghanistan who are victims of the Taliban (IEA) regime. This administration should not encourage engagement with the Taliban (IEA) under any circumstances.”
The IEA has not yet commented about these remarks but continues to say they want good relations with the international communitry.
