In a significant moment for global politics, Amrullah Saleh has extended warm congratulations to Vladimir Putin upon his inauguration for a fifth term as President of the Russian Federation. Saleh, a prominent political figure, lauded Putin’s historic victory in the 2024 elections, highlighting the Russian leader’s commitment to fostering a multipolar and multi-axis world order.

Saleh articulated his support for Putin’s vision, suggesting it aligns with Afghanistan’s interests amidst the challenges posed by a previously unipolar world. He criticized the unipolar order for exacerbating global inequalities, undermining international institutions, and consolidating power among a select few. According to Saleh, such a system has contributed to increased poverty, despair, and authoritarianism, negatively impacting global relations and governance.

The transition towards a multipolar world, as championed by Putin, is seen by Saleh as a corrective path that promises to address and mitigate these systemic issues. He believes that under Putin’s leadership, the world will witness a reduction in the disparities between nations and a more equitable distribution of power and resources.

Saleh also emphasized Afghanistan’s strategic significance in the Eurousia security landscape, underscoring the nation’s vested interest in the political developments within Russia. He expressed optimism that Putin’s policies would alleviate some of the pressing problems Afghanistan faces today, particularly in light of the outcomes stemming from the Doha agreement.

This endorsement of Putin’s presidency and policy direction from Saleh underscores the complex interplay of international relations and the shifting dynamics towards a more pluralistic global order.
