Afghan FM Addresses Women's Exclusion from Press Meet
Afghanistan's Foreign Minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, clarified that the exclusion of women from a press conference in New Delhi was a "technical error" rather than intentional.
It was more a technical issue… Our colleagues had decided to send an invitation to a specific list of journalists and there was no other intention apart from this.
Muttaqi responded to backlash from Indian media and politicians, stating that the decision was not based on gender discrimination. He invited women journalists to attend another press interaction.
