“Our message to America is, if unrecognition continues, Afghan problems continue, it is the problem of the region and could turn into a problem for the world,” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said on Saturday. While no country has recognised the Taliban government, senior officials from a number of countries have met with the movement’s leadership both in Kabul and abroad. The latest visit was by Turkmen Foreign Minister Rasit Meredow, who was in Kabul on Saturday. China's foreign minister, Wang Yi, met Taliban officials in Qatar earlier this week. He said serious talks on the matter were held when Pakistan's foreign minister had travelled to Kabul last week.
