The Taliban-controlled central bank regularly announces at least once or twice a week of the receipt of millions of dollars in the name of humanitarian aid.

Many observers have continuously criticised the international community and said that it should not send its humanitarian assistance to the Taliban.

Salim emphasised on the establishment of an inclusive government in Afghanistan.

The Herat Security Dialogue started on Tuesday in Tajikistan and is focused on "Inclusive Political System: The Way Forward".
