"Also, we have over and over spoken about discretion. We are focused on the Doha understanding. Like the remainder of the world, we need relations with them in light of standards and strategic standards that they lay out with us, and that they don't backpedal on that," Haqqani said.
Driving on from that point, Amanpour called attention to Haqqani that he not simply had an extravagant abundance on his head but at the same time was under sanctions by the US. She then, at that point, proceeded to statement a "top Western authority" talking about Haqqani.

He was one of the first to give ladies back something to do in his service. We have seen his service find promising ways to contain psychological oppression. To call it a conundrum is putting it mildly. This isn't simply my perspective. It is the assessment of each and every emissary dealing with on these problems.'"

In this association, he added that here, "we have interior dangers" and, without naming anybody, he said "some are purposely raising the dangers to depict them as a reason for worry for the country and for the global local area".
"There can be dangers to the remainder of the world that are organized by an administration, however we would like ... to console the remainder of the world that our territory won't be utilized as a danger to anybody," Haqqani affirmed.

In the announcement given by the Ministry of Education, there were a few deficiencies inside the preparation[s] that were progressing," Haqqani added.
