AT Kabul: Afghanistan’s Foreign Ministry welcomed the reopening of the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Kabul on Monday. This is the first time since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in 2021.
On Sunday, the Saudi Embassy announced on X account that it was restarting its work in Kabul. They said this decision was made to provide services to the Afghan people.
Zia Ahmad Takal, a spokesman for Afghanistan’s Foreign Ministry, said they are happy about the reopening. He promised the ministry would help the Saudi Embassy and make sure their staff is safe.
Takal also said he hopes this will improve relations between Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. He added that the embassy’s reopening will help solve problems for Afghans living in Saudi Arabia.
Although no country has officially recognized the Taliban government, many countries, including Saudi Arabia, have kept or started diplomatic relations with the Taliban.
