The Taliban, an Afghan radical movement now in power, doesn’t seek to close current Afghan embassies, Muhammad Suhail Shaheen, the movement's envoy to the United Nations, said, APA reports citing TASS.

"We are not going to close down embassies. But as a government, of course we will transfer some of the diplomats from one embassy to another embassy, we will transfer them to the Foreign Ministry here," he said in an interview with TASS. "This is something normal."

He said that Afghan diplomats were allowed to continue working "but they really should work for the people of Afghanistan and its new government."
