Political instability in Afghanistan will lead to the destabilization in other nations, Qatar’s Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani has said. Afghanistan’s situation requires everyone’s help to recreate the country’s infrastructure and support the people,  Al-Thani said while talking at the Rome Med 2021 – Mediterranean Dialogues.

"I think the main challenge right now in Afghanistan (is) that there is an absence of clarity over the way to deal with Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover in August," Al-Thani was quoted as saying by TOLOnews.

"…I think the situation in Afghanistan needs everybody’s help and needs the cooperation of the international community to work together collectively to help… I am sure that they will have an opportunity to help in rebuilding the infrastructure of Afghanistan and help support the Afghan people, which Qatar welcomes. I don’t think that any other country is not welcoming such an effort," Al Thani added.

"I believe that the threat of terrorism or the threat of instability in Afghanistan is going to have a dangerous effect on all those (European and US) countries,” he said adding that, "I think this should present an opportunity, where all of us can come together and work together for the interest of the Afghan people."

The political analysts believe that the international community will keep observing the Taliban whether they work in a political structure or remain as a threat, TOLOnews reported.

Senior leaders of the Afghan Taliban have been stationed in Doha, the Qatari capital since the early 2010s. The purpose was to facilitate political reconciliation between the Taliban, the then government of Afghanistan, the United States and other countries.

Qatar serves as a diplomatic proxy for the United States in Afghanistan,  representing American interests and helping to process visas for thousands of people who are looking to flee Taliban control.

Qatar for years has been a key go-between in the delicate relationship between the Taliban and the Americans. The Persian Gulf nation has hosted diplomatic negotiations between the two sides to end the war and has received more than 60,000 people from Afghanistan after the Taliban seized power in August, The New York Times said.
