Taliban Ambassador Asks UAE To Facilitate Transfer Of Afghan Prisoners

Badruddin Haqqani, the Taliban's ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, called on the country to facilitate the transfer of prisoners to Afghanistan.

In a meeting with UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Badruddin Haqqani discussed the transfer of Afghan prisoners.

Zia Ahmad Takal, deputy spokesman for the Taliban's Foreign Ministry, announced on Saturday, November 30, that Badruddin Haqqani met Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. He wrote on social media platform X that the current developments in Afghanistan and the facilitation of UAE visas for Afghans were other topics of discussion.

According to Takal, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan promised to cooperate with the Taliban during the meeting.

The president of the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday accepted the credentials of a number of new ambassadors, including the Taliban's ambassador.

The United Arab Emirates, like other countries, does not recognise the Taliban government. In the 1990s, the country, along with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, were the only countries in the world to recognise the Taliban rule.
