🇦🇫 statement at the meeting on the situation in Afghanistan:

“The future of Afghanistan must not be dictated by force, exclusion, or fear. It must be shaped through inclusive dialogue, genuine accountability, and a shared commitment to the rights, dignity, and aspirations of all Afghans—especially the women and girls who have borne the brunt of this crisis.”

Statement by H.E. Naseer Ahmad Faiq, Charge d'affaires of Permanent Mission of Afghanistan to the UN, at the Special Meeting on Forced Displacement & Refugee Protection:

“While we acknowledge the pressures on host countries, forced returns and scapegoating of refugees are not viable solutions. They erode decades of regional solidarity and expose millions to renewed suffering. We urge Pakistan and Iran to halt all forced deportations, uphold their international obligations, and collaborate with the United Nations and partners to ensure that any returns are voluntary, safe, and dignified.”
