According to the Associated Press Dubai reported on September 21, the Emir of Qatar urged the leaders of various countries not to boycott the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan at the United Nations on the 21st.

Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani stressed from the podium of the United Nations General Assembly: "It is necessary to continue dialogue with the Taliban, because resistance can only lead to polarization and resistance, and dialogue can lead to positive results." ”

He said the words to many heads of state who were apprehensive about reaching out to the Taliban and acknowledging the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan.

Sheikh Tamim said Qatar agreed years ago to admit the Taliban political leaders in exile because "we believe that war will not solve the problem and that there will eventually be dialogue."

Qatar is a close ally of the United States and home to the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East, but the small Gulf state also has some influence over the Taliban.

Sheikh Tamim urged on the 21st not to repeat the same mistakes on the Afghan issue and "impose a political system from the outside."

The 41-year-old leader said the international community must continue to support Afghanistan at this critical stage, "distinguishing humanitarian aid from political differences."
