"Our message to America is, if the un-recognition continues, Afghan problems continue, it is the problem of the region and could turn into a problem for the world," said Zabihullah Mujahid.
Kabul: The Taliban have called on the US and other global powers not to waste time in recognising their government in Afghanistan, warning that failure to do so would have major problems and consequences not only for the country but the world at large.
"Our message to America is, if the un-recognition continues, Afghan problems continue, it is the problem of the region and could turn into a problem for the world," said Zabihullah Mujahid, the Deputy Minister of Information and Culture, during a press conference in Kabul.
"The reason why the Taliban and US went to war last time was that the two did not have formal diplomatic ties. The US invaded Afghanistan in 2001 following September 11, 2001, attacks after the then-Taliban government refused to hand over chief the Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden." Mujahid said that the issues that led to war in the past could be resolved through negotiations and political compromise.
