On 23 June 2026, Ambassador Bakhtari delivered Afghanistan’s voluntary report at the OSCE’s Human Dimension Committee Meeting in Vienna on “Building inclusive societies through dialogue, education and security: addressing intolerance and discrimination based on religion or belief.”
She emphasized that tolerance, non-discrimination, and freedom of thought, religion, and belief are fundamental pillars of democratic societies and comprehensive security.
Highlighting the situation in Afghanistan, Ambassador Bakhtari noted that the institutionalization of exclusion and systematic restriction of rights, particularly affecting women, girls, and religious minorities has profound implications for justice, equality, and social cohesion.
She further underlined that sustainable peace cannot be achieved where discrimination is embedded in legal and governance frameworks, stressing the continued importance of protecting diversity, ensuring equality before the law, and enabling full participation of all members of society.

On 18 June 2026, Ms. Masiha Akrami, First Secretary of the Embassy and Permanent Mission of Afghanistan, delivered a statement at the 2026 Annual Security Review Conference (ASRC).
She noted that Afghanistan stands at a critical juncture. The current security landscape remains fragile and increasingly volatile, with terrorist groups exploiting the absence of accountable governance, posing serious risks not only to the region, but also to global and European security.
She further emphasized that the continued presence of ISIL-K, Al-Qaeda affiliates, and other extremist networks, alongside the rise in illicit drug production and trafficking, reinforces a dangerous nexus between insecurity and organized crime.
She also highlighted that the systemic exclusion of women and girls, the expansion of unregulated madrassas, and the worsening humanitarian crisis are equally concerning, as they deepen instability and increase the risks of radicalization, irregular migration, and human trafficking.
Afghanistan’s trajectory affects us all. The threats are real, evolving, and global in nature.

On 15 June 2026 at the OSCE Asian Partners for Co-operation Group Meeting organised by Finland and Japan at Hofburg, Ambassador Bakhtari highlighted the importance of economic security and resilient supply chains.
She noted Afghanistan’s vulnerability to global trade disruptions, while emphasizing its strategic potential to enhance regional connectivity. However, current policies of the Taliban have contributed to economic isolation, weakened institutions, and reduced investor confidence.
The continued exclusion of women from education and economic life remains a major barrier to Afghanistan’s recovery and its meaningful participation in regional markets.
