A senior Taliban official says in a new interview that he is optimistic the U.S. will shift its Afghanistan-related policies as the new regime seeks “mercy and compassion” from the world.
Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi told The Associated Press that he hopes “America will slowly, slowly change its policy toward Afghanistan.”
“You are a great and big nation, and you must have enough patience and have a big heart to dare to make policies on Afghanistan based on international rules and relegation, and to end the differences and make the distance between us shorter and choose good relations with Afghanistan,” he said.
