Afghanistan Under Taliban Unacceptable, Says German President
Frank Walter Steinmeier, the German President, asked Kyrgyzstan to use its influence to improve the situation in Afghanistan.
During a visit to Kyrgyzstan, Steinmeier said that the situation in Afghanistan under the Taliban is unacceptable and women and girls are being systematically oppressed.
In a joint press conference with Sadyr Japarov, the Kyrgyz president on Thursday, he also expressed concern about the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan.
Kyrgyzstan, like other countries, does not recognise the Taliban, but over the last two years, the representatives of Bishkek have visited Afghanistan and engaged with Taliban officials.
