The actions of the Kabul government had an impact on the release of Americans who were imprisoned in Afghanistan, and the exchange for the Afghan, who was serving time in the United States. This was reported by the Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
As clarified in the official statement, the Afghan Khan Mukhammed, who had previously been in custody in California, was released and returned to his homeland. He was arrested about 20 years ago in Nangarhar province.
Last year, it was confirmed that negotiations were being held on mutual exchanges of prisoners. An agreement on the conduct of the exchange was announced after the transfer of power to Joe Biden, who replaced Donald Trump.
Representatives of the 'Taliban' announced the release of American citizens, imprisoned in Afghanistan, in exchange for an Afghan who was in detention in the USA. According to the agreement, the intermediary role in the exchange was performed by Doha.
**Quote:** 'These actions confirm our readiness to fulfill the agreed-upon obligations regarding mutual exchanges,' - emphasized the 'Taliban'.
