The Taliban government in Afghanistan has declined an invitation by neighboring Pakistan for assistance in global girl's education in the Muslim world.

Afghanistan: Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, the country’s education minister, has informed Reuters that Afghanistan was invited “but no one on behalf of the Afghan government attended the conference.”

As reported by The Express Tribune, this comes as tensions between Kabul and Islamabad have been building over the presence of terrorist training camps on Afghan soil.

Since capturing Afghanistan on August 22, the Taliban government has passed several orders restricting the education of women in the country, attracting speculations of global condemnation.

The Express Tribune asserted that the conference will also feature Malala Yousafzai who is a Nobel prize winner and a steadfast advocate for the education of girls in Islam and the communities there, “Girls’ Education In Islamic Communities: Challenges And Opportunities,” will be the statement between the two-day events.

The now-defunct Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) which was still active in Pakistan treated Malala, then 15, disparagingly for advocating for the girls’ movement which eventually conceited her.

Honorable Prime Minister Shehbaz will be treating the two-day events in the week paving salvos.

The event is being organized by the Federal Ministry of Education and Professional Training of Pakistan.

According to the statement from the Foreign Office, this unprecedented summit will help to improve conversations and find pertinent actionable steps to the issues surrounding girls’ education.

This conference will end with a signing ceremony of the “Islamabad Declaration” and this declaration is about the collective resolve of the people in the Muslin world that will do everything possible to help girls through education.

One of the items on the agenda of the conference will be the current issue of girls’ education in areas controlled by Taliban government in Afghanistan. Although there has not been a specific reference to the country of Afghanistan, the report did mention that given the present situation in that country, the joint statement would “certainly condemn Taliban’s education policy that bans girls’ school attendance.”
