Italy Appoints Female Diplomat As New Ambassador To Afghanistan

The ministry said Ugolini will manage Afghanistan-related affairs on an interim basis from Doha.

Earlier, the affairs of the Italian Embassy in Afghanistan were handled by Natalia Quintavalle, the Italian Chargé d'Affaires in Doha.

Sabrina Ugolini was born in Rome, Italy, in 1968 and began her career in this field in 1994, the statement said.

The new Italian ambassador, Sabrina Ugolini, wrote on the embassy's social media platform X that by assuming this responsibility, she will focus on human rights issues and the situation of women and girls in Afghanistan.

This comes even as Italy and no other country have recognised the Taliban so far, and many Western countries manage the affairs of their embassies to Afghanistan from Doha, the capital of Qatar.
