[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] Kabul International Airport in Afghanistan is reported by U.S. foreign media to begin domestic flights starting from the 2nd (local time).

Sheikh Muhammad Al-Thani, Qatar's Foreign Minister, said regarding the reopening of Kabul Airport, "We are discussing with the Taliban ways to technically support Kabul Airport and cooperating with Turkey."

Qatari media Al Jazeera also reported, citing Afghan civil aviation officials, that a Qatari technical team plans to operate Kabul Airport soon.

Kabul Airport was operated by the U.S. military to evacuate its citizens and local collaborators after the Islamic extremist armed group Taliban overthrew the Afghan government in mid-last month.

The Taliban took control of Kabul Airport after the U.S. military completed its full withdrawal, including support troops for the evacuation operation, on the 30th of last month.

Meanwhile, the Taliban, who wish to be recognized by the international community as the legitimate government of Afghanistan, are reportedly hastening the reopening of Kabul Airport to normalize civilian entry and exit as well as import and export, which will serve as the foundation for this recognition.
