Afghan people have gained independence after long struggles: Suhail Shaheen  

KABUL, Nov 16 (SABAH): Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) Permanent Representative-designate to United Nations Muhammad Suhail Shaheen has said that the Afghan people have gained independence after long struggles. 

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Suhail Shaheen said that this has opened up a new phase for an independent country to have positive relations with all countries including US, based on mutual interests, investments in and reconstruction of Afghanistan, joint ventures for exploration and extraction of natural resources. 

“We are abiding by the Doha Agreement, not to allow any one to use the soil of Afghanistan against any other country. Similarly, the other side also perform its commitment” said Sohail Shaeen.

He said that the current government has sovereignty and writ all over the country and has support of the people, reflecting their aspirations.

We have all the conditions needed for occupying the seat of Afghanistan at UN. We hope, legal requirements shall supersede political preferences, he said.
