He stated, “If anyone interferes in Afghanistan’s internal affairs and wants to destroy Afghanistan and torment the Afghan people, then our defence is based on our Islamic and international rights, and in that case, we will respond in kind.”Hanafi addressed a gathering honouring outstanding university and religious school students, dismissing concerns about the presence of religious schools in Afghanistan as unfounded. He stressed the equivalence of universities and schools, stating, “Unfortunately, there are some school phobias. Alhamdulillah, this will not exist in Afghanistan anymore. Some of our neighbouring countries still have not seen any schools but have school phobias. All their concerns are baseless.”Photo: Afghanistan’s schoolsSource: Google ImagesNeda Mohammad Nadim, the acting Minister of Higher Education, reiterated the Islamic Emirate’s commitment to advancing religious and modern sciences in Afghanistan, aiming for educational prosperity.Khairullah Khairkhwa, the acting Minister of Information and Culture, highlighted the government’s efforts to enhance youth capabilities and create more employment opportunities.The Islamic Emirate views the strengthening of educational institutions as crucial, believing they are essential for Afghanistan’s self-sufficiency.Around 60 scholars and exceptional students from Afghanistan’s universities and religious schools were honoured at the meeting, underscoring the Islamic Emirate’s dedication to education and academic achievement.
