“The Credentials Committee decided yesterday that for now, the seat of Afghanistan at UN be not given to the new government in Afghanistan. This decision is not based on legal rules and justice because they have deprived the people of Afghanistan of their legitimate right,” said Suhail Shaheen, the Afghan interim government’s nominee to the UN.

“We hope that this right is handed over to the representative of the government of Afghanistan in the near future so that we can be in a position to resolve issues of the people of Afghanistan effectively and efficiently and maintain positive interaction with the world,” Shaheen added. (ILKHA)
