Taliban spokesman calls PAS’ Hadi ‘insightful’ religious scholar, diplomat

JOHOR BARU – The Taliban has praised PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang as both an “insightful” and “experienced” leader in the areas of diplomacy and Islamic academia.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s (IEA) Chief of Political Office Muhammad Suhail Shaheen said Hadi expressed a desire to strengthen ties between Malaysia and his nation.

I found him (Hadi) an experienced and insightful religious scholar and diplomat who wants to have good and close relations with the IEA and the people of Afghanistan.

“I am looking forward to having such meetings with various high-profile personalities from Malaysia frequently,” Suhail told The Vibes when contacted.

His comments come in light of a meeting held in February last year between Suhail and Hadi – who was then the prime minister’s special envoy to the Middle East – in Doha, Qatar.

Following a tweet after the meeting, Suhail said Hadi promised that Malaysia would do what it can to assist Afghanistan and improve bilateral relations.
