Original title: The Taliban United Nations General Assembly’s request for speech failed to realize the reason for foreign media exposure
Overseas Network, September 25th According to a Reuters report on the 25th, the spokesperson of the United Nations Secretary-General said that the Permanent Representative of Afghanistan to the United Nations will speak on the 27th, the last day of the general debate of the United Nations General Assembly. This representative was appointed by the collapsed former Afghan government. Earlier, the Taliban had written to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, requesting to speak at the General Assembly and requesting the replacement of permanent representatives.
The spokesperson of the UN Secretary-General Dujarik said that at present, the Permanent Representative of Afghanistan to the United Nations, Ulam Isakzai, is on the list of speakers on the 27th. Isakzai was appointed by the collapsed Afghan Ghani government in August of this year.
On September 20, the Acting Foreign Minister of the Taliban Provisional Government of Afghanistan sent a letter to UN Secretary-General Guterres, requesting to speak at the general debate of the UN General Assembly this week, and at the same time appointed Taliban spokesperson Shahin as the permanent representative of Afghanistan to the UN.
Subsequently, the Secretary-General handed the Taliban’s request to the Joint Entitlement Committee for processing, and the latter would decide whether to approve the “substitution”. The committee is composed of 9 member states and is responsible for reviewing the qualifications and status of permanent representatives of member states. It usually meets in October or November.
However, Reuters pointed out that since the general debate of the current session of the UN General Assembly is scheduled to end on September 27, the committee cannot meet in time to discuss the Taliban’s request. (Overseas Network Liu Qiang)
