Russia, Afghanistan sign legal defence team collaboration pact
Russia and Afghanistan signed an accord on legal defence team-technical collaboration during the Global Protection Forum in the Moscow zone, as Moscow continues expanding ties with the Taliban-led representatives in Kabul.
The accord was signed Wednesday evening by Russian Global protection body Secretary Sergei Shoigu and Afghan Defense Secretary Mohammad Yaqoob.
“Interaction with Russia is important for us. Afghanistan and Russia have long-standing historical relations, and we want to continue moving in this direction. We have expanded two-province relations,” Yaqoob stated.
Shoigu stated Western countries should unfreeze Afghan assets and assume responsibility for rebuilding the country after two decades of legal defence team presence.
“We are convinced that Western countries should unfreeze blocked Afghan assets, fully recognize their responsibility for their 20-year presence in Afghanistan and bear the burden of the country’s post-dispute reconstruction,” he stated.
The accord comes amid growing contacts between Moscow and the Taliban representatives.
