Mullah Mohammad Hasan Akhund, Afghanistan's acting prime minister, called on international governments to recognise the country's Taliban administration on Wednesday, saying that all conditions had been met at a news conference in Kabul. 

"I request that all nations, particularly Muslim countries, begin recognition," Akhund stated in his first major public television address since taking office in September.

Foreign governments have been hesitant to acknowledge the Taliban administration, which assumed power in August, while Western nations, lead by the US, have frozen billions of dollars in Afghan banking assets and cut off development money, which was previously the lifeblood of the Afghan economy. 

At a news conference attended by UN officials, Akhund and other Taliban administration officials called for an easing of restrictions on money entering the country, blaming the government's worsening economic problems on the freezing of finances.

"Short-term aid isn't the answer; we need to figure out how to fix problems from the ground up," he said. 

The international world has increased humanitarian aid, which is intended to meet immediate needs while mostly avoiding official channels. However, millions more people have fallen into poverty as the country suffers a cash constraint and a failing economy throughout the severe winter. 

Deborah Lyons, the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Afghanistan, spoke at the event, noting that Afghanistan's economic situation was a significant challenge that needed to be handled by all countries.

"The United Nations is striving to revitalise Afghanistan's economy and to solve the country's underlying economic difficulties," she said. 

The Taliban regime is pursuing economic contacts with the world community, according to Afghanistan's acting foreign minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi. 

"Humanitarian help is a short-term fix for economic difficulties; nevertheless, long-term solutions require the implementation of infrastructure projects," he stated.
