Wait to see if Taliban follow normal rules, Putrajaya told - superadmin - 09-23-2021 PETALING JAYA: The government has been advised to hold back from recognising the Taliban government in Afghanistan and grant recognition if the Taliban follow democratic norms and allow universal standards of freedom for its people. Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya said the Taliban should practise democracy, allow freedom of speech and religion, and ensure social fairness, including for women. He told FMT that Malaysia’s foreign ministry should wait for at least six months before making any decision on recognising the Taliban government. “If in six months the Taliban government follows universal standards of freedom and democracy, then we can recognise it,” he said. - More -
