Absence of Women Journalists from 1st Press Conference Not Deliberate: Afghanistan Foreign Minister: Afghanistan’s Foreign Minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, on Sunday clarified that the absence of women journalists from the first press conference was not deliberate but a technical issue caused by short notice.
He gave the clarification during a second press conference held in New Delhi.
Speaking at the second press conference, he said, “Regarding the press conference, it was due to short notice. The participation list was prepared with specific journalists, and it was more of a technical issue than any deliberate exclusion. It was not intentional.”
The clarification comes after massive public outrage in India over the exclusion of female journalists from the first press conference held by Afghanistan’s visiting Foreign Minister.
