OIC Delegation Meets Taliban Officials, Discusses Moderate Islam

The Organisation of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) announced that a delegation of the organisation held talks with Taliban officials about tolerance, moderate Islam, girls' education, and women's work.

In a statement, however, the Taliban did not point out the discussion about women’s work and education during their meeting with the OIC delegation.

The OIC delegation arrived in Kabul early on Thursday, and over the last two days, met Amir Khan Muttaqi, the Taliban's foreign minister, and Mawlawi Abdul Kabir, the group’s Deputy Prime Minister for Political Affairs.

On Friday, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation expressed hope that meetings with Taliban officials would continue to resolve issues of concern.

In a statement about the meeting with the OIC delegation, the Taliban said that Abdul Kabir spoke about the end of the war in Afghanistan and claimed that the group doesn’t allow linguistic, ethnic, and religious differences in Afghanistan.
