A Significant Development In recent days, a meeting was held in Doha between Afghan officials and representatives of Saudi Arabia, during which Saudi Arabia pledged to reopen its embassy in Kabul soon. This promise is an important and welcome news for Afghans.

It is also a great opportunity to make efforts to reopen other embassies that were closed due to the recent political changes in Afghanistan. Reopening international embassies not only enhances Afghanistan’s global standing but also contributes to internal stability.

The reopening of the Saudi Arabian embassy in Kabul will bring numerous benefits to the lives of Afghans in various areas. It will strengthen political and economic relations between the two countries. Saudi Arabia, being one of the significant Islamic countries, can play a crucial role in Afghanistan’s reconstruction, education, and public services.

Reopening embassies will also facilitate consular services for Afghans. In recent years, many Afghans had to travel to neighboring countries for their consular needs, which was a time-consuming and costly process. The reopening of embassies will solve this problem and provide convenience to Afghans.

Additionally, it will pave the way for international aid and cooperation. The presence of international embassies will open avenues for humanitarian assistance, developmental projects, and business opportunities in Afghanistan.

This will play a vital role in the growth of the Afghan economy and increase employment opportunities. Therefore, it is crucial for the interim Afghan government to make efforts to reopen all embassies. These efforts should aim to gain international trust and confidence and pave the way for the country’s stability and development.

With this, Afghans will live in a peaceful and progressive Afghanistan. In conclusion, the reopening of the Saudi Arabian embassy is an important and positive step that will bring numerous benefits to Afghans. We hope that this promise will be fulfilled as soon as possible and that other countries will also take similar steps so that Afghanistan can once again find its place in the international community.

We urge Saudi officials to fulfill their promises and reopen their embassy in Kabul as soon as possible. This will not only strengthen the relations between the two countries but also bring significant benefits to the lives of Afghans. The reopening of other international embassies will also send a message to Afghans that Afghanistan is once again moving towards peace and progress.

The interim Afghan government should be serious and persistent in this regard, ensuring that all embassies that were closed are reactivated as soon as possible. This will be a crucial step for the country’s stability and development and will open the way for international aid and cooperation for Afghans.
