Balkhi said that the Islamic Emirate welcomes this Saudi diplomatic team and appreciates the good action of the Saudi government. He stressed that the Islamic Emirate considers the resumption of consular services of the Saudi Embassy in Kabul as the beginning of the country’s good relations with Afghanistan.
The Saudi government has also announced that it has begun consular services for Afghan citizens.
