Poland’s Special Representative for Afghanistan met with the Taliban’s acting foreign minister in Kabul to discuss political ties, Afghan refugees in Europe, and future economic cooperation, signaling a cautious but growing engagement between the two nations.
In a step toward enhancing bilateral relations, Polish Special Representative for Afghanistan, Witold Sobków, met with Afghanistan’s Acting Foreign Minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, in Kabul this week. The meeting focused on political cooperation, the situation of Afghan refugees in Europe, and opportunities for economic engagement between the two countries.
The talks highlighted both sides’ interest in building a stronger partnership amid evolving regional and global dynamics. The Afghan foreign minister stressed the importance of increasing communication and coordination between the two foreign ministries, viewing it as essential for advancing shared objectives.
Afghanistan reiterated its commitment to a balanced and economically focused foreign policy, emphasizing its openness to engagement with countries such as Poland. The Afghan side encouraged Poland to explore investment opportunities in sectors including agriculture, mining, energy, and infrastructure, noting that Afghanistan offers untapped potential for international partners.
One of the key points of discussion was the condition of Afghan refugees in Europe, especially in Poland. Afghan officials expressed concern over the challenges many refugees continue to face and urged closer cooperation to find practical and humane solutions. They also called for international support to create conditions that would enable voluntary returns through improved stability and economic prospects at home.
The Polish envoy acknowledged the humanitarian needs of Afghan refugees and expressed his country’s intention to explore economic cooperation with Afghanistan. He commended the recent improvements in security and administrative reforms in the country, considering them encouraging signs for potential investment and long-term collaboration.
The meeting concluded with both sides reaffirming their readiness to strengthen diplomatic ties and work toward mutual goals in political, economic, and humanitarian fields.
