In talks with the Taliban, Turkey on Thursday reiterated the importance of government inclusiveness for Afghanistan's unity, said a top Turkish official.
A delegation from the Taliban visited Ankara today for talks with Minister of Foreign Affairs Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu.
Turkey repeated its advice to the visiting Taliban delegation on girls' education and women's employment in business life, Çavuşoğlu said at a news conference following the meeting with Afghanistan's acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi in Ankara.
Muttaqi led the Taliban delegation to discuss bilateral issues as well as cooperation on the future of Afghanistan.
The Taliban officials have pledged to provide the utmost support to Afghan refugees who want to return to the country from Turkey, said Çavuşoğlu.
He also underlined that the Taliban delegation conveyed requests to Turkey during the meeting, especially on humanitarian aid and continued investment in Afghanistan.
Last month, Çavuşoğlu said Turkey has contributed to stabilization and development efforts in Afghanistan, including on the education of girls and empowerment of women since the 1920s, adding that Ankara continues providing humanitarian aid through the Turkish Red Crescent. (HA/VK)
