Nur-Sultan, Oct 26 (Prensa Latina) The Foreign Ministry of Kazakhstan reported on Tuesday that authorities had approved a humanitarian transit corridor for the exit of female judges and Parliament members and their families from Afghanistan.

The decision by Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev was made to meet the country’s international humanitarian obligations, according to a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It informed that the initiative was set up with the support of international non-governmental organizations and will make it possible for these Afghan women to travel from Almaty’s airport to third countries.

The special envoy of the Kazakh president, Erzhan Kazykhan, negotiated in Kabul with representatives of the provisional Taliban government on October 17 to provide humanitarian aid to that country and reestablish commercial and economic relations, TASS news agency reported.
