Russian FM: Washington and allies seek to interfere in Afghanistan
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has stated that the United States and its allies are attempting to interfere in the fragile situation in Afghanistan.
According to Russia’s TASS news agency, Lavrov made these remarks on Thursday, October 31, at the second international “Minsk” conference on Eurasian security.
Lavrov added that the aggressive activities of the U.S. and its allies pose a threat to the security of the entire Asian continent.
During the conference, the Russian Foreign Minister accused Washington of seeking to sow division and create crises in the region.
Lavrov emphasized that Western nations have no interest in seeing a stable Eurasian region.
The Russian diplomat called on Asian countries to unite and strengthen their solidarity.
Lavrov added that under various pretexts, the U.S. wants to meddle in Afghan affairs.
The Russian Foreign Minister stressed that Russia strongly opposes any U.S. military presence in the region.
Lavrov’s remarks highlight the ongoing geopolitical competition over Afghanistan, with various global powers aiming to secure influence in the region.
He sees U.S. intervention as a threat to both Afghanistan’s stability and the broader security of Eurasia.
In this context, China has been strategically expanding its influence through economic investments in Afghanistan, such as infrastructure projects and mineral extraction agreements, aiming to secure its economic foothold and support regional stability on its terms.
Meanwhile, Afghanistan continues to be a focal point for global power dynamics, as Russia, the U.S., and China compete for influence. Each country seeks to shape Afghanistan’s future based on its interests, whether through security, economic partnerships, or diplomatic channels.
