Kabul: Taliban Acting Minister of Vice and Virtue, Mohammad Khalid Hanafi, on Sunday, said the Afghanistan government is ready to engage with the international community, but the world should not seek any compromise with the caretaker government.

Hanafi made the remarks at a gathering in the central province of Parwan.

“The Islamic Emirate agrees to engage with you (the international community) through negotiations and contact. Of course, there will be no deal against Islam. In this regard, the Islamic Emirate is never ready to engage with you,” he was quoted as saying by Tolo News.

“Where were human rights? How many people became orphans and disabled? Let's talk logically. Where were the foreigners back then?” he asked.

The Taliban government has been ruling the country since last year.

The Taliban took control over Afghanistan last year by removing the former government after foreign forces exited.
