Taliban Appoints New Head of Mission for Afghan Embassy in UAE
The Taliban’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Badruddin Haqqani has arrived in Abu Dhabi as "the new head of the Afghan Embassy in the United Arab Emirates".
The Taliban’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Badruddin Haqqani has arrived in Abu Dhabi as "the new head of the Afghan Embassy in the United Arab Emirates".
On Thursday, the ministry added that Haqqani was officially introduced to the embassy employees.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Taliban stated that this group considers the acceptance of Badruddin Haqqani at the Afghan embassy in the United Arab Emirates as an "important development in the relations between the two countries".
The Afghan embassy in the United Arab Emirates was previously managed by the diplomats of the previous Afghan government.
Before this, Sayer Daoudzai, the son of Mohammad Omar Daoudzai, the former adviser of President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani, was the charge d'affaires of the Afghan embassy in Abu Dhabi.
However, Haqqani is not the first Taliban diplomat to be accepted by the United Arab Emirates on behalf of the group. Earlier this year, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Taliban introduced Abdul Rahman Fida as the group’s consul general in Dubai.
