Kathmandu, November 17. The acting Foreign Minister of Afghanistan Amir Khan Muttaqi has written an open letter to the White House, requesting the release of Afghan assets.

On Wednesday, the minister said in an official statement, “We no longer find ourselves in direct conflict with one another nor are we a military opposition, what logic could possibly exist behind the freezing of our assets?”

Muttaqi continued, “At a time when we have an excellent opportunity for positive relations, reaching for the option of sanctions and pressure cannot help improve our relations.”

The foreign minister further said that “It is necessary for both sides to take positive steps in order to build trust.”
