The Oslo meeting, which brought together representatives from over 30 countries and organizations in Norway to discuss the situation in Afghanistan, has concluded after three days of intense discussions.
Kabul 24: The meeting focused on several critical issues, including the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan, the problem of Afghan migrants, and the current regime’s relationships with global organizations and the international community.
Women’s Rights and Girls’ Education
One of the main points of discussion at the Oslo meeting was the restoration of the rights of Afghan girls in all aspects of social life, particularly their access to education.
Participants emphasized the importance of ensuring that girls have equal opportunities to attend school and pursue higher education.
Afghan Migration and Expulsion
Another key issue addressed at the meeting was the problem of Afghan migrants, especially their expulsion by two neighboring countries of Afghanistan. Participants discussed ways to address this pressing humanitarian concern and find solutions that respect the rights and dignity of Afghan refugees.
International Relations and Engagement
The Oslo meeting also focused on the current regime’s relationships with global organizations such as the World Bank, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, SAARC, and ECO. Participants explored ways to establish constructive engagement between the international community and the current Afghan government.
Islamic Emirate’s Response
In response to the Oslo meeting, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan expressed the view that such discussions should be held within the country to yield more beneficial results.
Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman for the Islamic Emirate, stated that an Afghan representative should be present at these meetings to defend and express the country’s stance on the issues raised.
Calls for Inclusive Dialogue
Political analyst Shams Rahman Ahmadzai echoed the Islamic Emirate’s sentiment, stating that when people from inside Afghanistan do not participate in these meetings, they are not in the country’s favor. He emphasized the need for inclusive dialogue and participation of Afghan stakeholders in discussions about the future of Afghanistan.Since the return of the Islamic Emirate in Afghanistan, more than 20 meetings concerning the country have been held by countries around the world outside of Afghanistan. The Oslo meeting represents the latest effort by the international community to engage with the Afghan government and address the pressing issues facing the country.
