The Afghan embassy in Australia announced that the Taliban has made efforts to disrupt the consular services of the embassy.
The embassy added that despite the disruptions, it would continue to provide consular services to Afghans living in Australia "with strength and stability”.
The Afghan embassy in Canberra said in a statement on Monday (November 11) that the Taliban continues to harass the Afghan people, even outside Afghanistan's borders, due to their lack of internal and external legitimacy and seek to create new challenges for Afghans living in other countries.
The statement did not explain exactly how the Taliban had disrupted the consular services of the Afghan embassy in Australia. However, the Taliban's Foreign Ministry had previously announced that except for consulates that interact with the ministry, consular documents of other Afghan diplomatic missions are not valid.
The Taliban's Foreign Ministry has not responded to the new statement from the Afghan embassy in Australia.
"We assure our Afghan compatriots in Australia that the consular activities of this embassy will continue without any interruption and that its staff will be vigorously and steadfastly engaged in providing consular services and addressing the concerns of our compatriots," the statement said.
