Islamabad: When the Taliban captured Kabul after the US withdrawal in August 2021, everyone believed that Afghanistan was once again going to be the most dangerous country in the world. But it is probably not right to say this during the three years of Taliban 2.0 rule. A recent report by news agency AP shows that the number of foreign tourists in Afghanistan has increased more than 10 times in the first two years of Taliban rule. According to the report, while 691 foreign tourists had arrived in Afghanistan in the year 2021, their number reached 7000 in 2023. Pakistani experts are the most surprised by this report.
Pakistanis are surprised by the progress of Afghanistan
Pakistani expert and YouTuber Qamar Cheema has called the increasing number of tourists in Afghanistan a shame for Pakistan. Qamar Cheema says that in such circumstances, the number of tourists is increasing in Afghanistan. This is surprising. He also said that no tourist comes to Pakistan and even if they come, nothing is known about it. Qamar Cheema says that the increasing number of tourists shows that now foreigners are able to trust the security under the Taliban rule.
Taliban running tourist training course
Qamar Cheema said that the Taliban are starting training programs inside Afghanistan to provide a good environment to tourists. Students are being admitted in it and they are being trained to behave well with tourists. People in Afghanistan are applying for tourist operator licenses. Qamar Cheema also said that such a large number of tourists have reached Afghanistan when they do not have any facility to give visas in many countries of the world.
Chinese are the most popular tourist
Qamar Cheema tells an interesting thing about this. He said that a large number of tourists are Chinese. He raises the question whether tourists are really coming from China, or people from intelligence services or businessmen are coming? He said that many people have now started saying that we do not want to go to Pakistan because there is danger there. Now Western powers are increasing contact with Afghanistan. They believe that if they distance themselves from the Taliban, then China and Russia will enter here. Qamar Cheema said that the condition of Pakistan is such that the government here is completely focused on keeping its opponents in jail.
