female journalists

The Foreign Minister of Afghanistan’s Taliban government, Amir Khan Muttaqi, held a press conference in Delhi on Sunday where female journalists were invited and seated in the front row. This follows a controversy on Friday where female journalists were not invited. Muttaqi clarified the previous exclusion, stating it was due to purely technical reasons. He explained that last time, due to a shortage of time, a short-list of journalists was prepared, and there was no other intention behind the exclusion.
