Malaysia Assists Afghanistan in Cybersecurity: Taliban Interior Ministry
The Taliban’s Ministry of Interior announced a meeting between Serajuddin Haqqani and representatives from the ministries of Interior, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and the Special Representative of the Prime Minister of Malaysia in Kabul.
According to the ministry, Malaysia is assisting Afghanistan in the areas of cyber security and digital crimes.
The Taliban’s Ministry of Interior stated in a newsletter on Friday, April 26th, that Serajuddin Haqqani expressed the Taliban’s desire for close relations with the entire world, especially with Islamic countries.
He regarded Malaysia as an advanced Islamic country and desired to benefit from its experiences.
According to the newsletter, discussions were held during this meeting on joint efforts between the Taliban and Malaysia in combating drug trafficking, police training, and cooperation in other sectors. Details of these discussions have not yet been disclosed.
The Taliban’s Ministry of Defense also announced that Mullah Yaqoob, the Minister of Defense of the Taliban, also met with this high-level Malaysian delegation in Kabul. Yaqoob claimed during this meeting that there is no war in Afghanistan.
In September 2023, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim urged the Taliban to abandon its discriminatory policies against women and girls.
The rise of ISIS in Afghanistan and the broader region has intensified security concerns for both the Taliban and neighboring countries. ISIS has escalated its attacks in Afghanistan, posing a significant challenge to the Taliban’s authority and stability within the country.
This increase in ISIS activity not only threatens the security situation in Afghanistan but also raises alarms for neighboring countries, which fear the spillover of violence and extremism across their borders.
Recently, Amir Khan Muttaqi, the acting Foreign Minister of the Taliban, claimed that three neighboring countries support and train ISIS to destabilize the situation in Afghanistan. According to the report, he referred to Pakistan, Iran, and Tajikistan. As of now, none of these three countries have responded to these allegations.
