Seat of Afghanistan at UN is right of IEA as per the rules of UN: Suhail Shaheen

KABUL, Oct 31 (SABAH): The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) Permanent Representative-designate to United Nations Muhammad Suhail Shaheen has said that the seat of Afghanistan at UN is the right of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan as per the rules of UN. 

In a statement issued on twitter on Sunday Sohail Shaheen said that the permanent representative should be a person accredited by government actually in power. Similarly, IEA has sovereignty; control over all borders and has support of the people. These are key for recognition of a government— which the IEA enjoys.

Meanwhile in another tweet Sohail Shaheen said that Afghanistan has a fragile climate. There is need for tremendous work. Some climate change projects which have already been approved and were funded by Green Climate Fund, UNDP, Afghan Aid, should fully resume work. This, on the one hand, will help change the climate for the better and on the other hand, will provide job opportunities for people.

Sohail Shaheen said that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is committed to providing security and safe environment for work of NGOs and charity organizations.
