Norway refuses to recognize IEA government in Afghanistan
Norwegian Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt said on Saturday that Oslo is not considering the recognition of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) which is under UN sanctions.
Huitfeldt spoke at the Munich security conference in the session “Afghan Aftershocks: From Ashes to Ashes” and said: “We are reluctant to recognize [the IEA] and will not do that.”
In early September, the IEA leadership announced the composition of an interim government headed by Mohammad Hasan Akhund.
The restoration of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan was declared in December but has yet to garner desperately-needed international recognition.The post Norway refuses to recognize IEA government in Afghanistan first appeared on Ariana News.
