Nasir Ahmad Andisha, Afghanistan’s ambassador to Switzerland, says the country’s civilizational heritage is rooted in wisdom, research, medicine and philosophy, not isolation and fear.
Andisha wrote on X on Thursday, November 12, that he had attended a ceremony commemorating Ibn Sina (Abu Ali Sina Balkhi) on behalf of Afghanistan.
The Afghan ambassador to Switzerland added that Ibn Sina’s works demonstrate Afghanistan’s rich civilizational history, built on wisdom, research and philosophy.
Referring to the exclusion of Afghan women and girls from schools and universities, Andisha said commemorating Ibn Sina is not merely about remembering the past. It is also a reminder of the contributions Afghans have made to the world and what has been taken away from them today.
He stressed that Afghanistan continues to play an active role in the international community and remains committed to passing its scientific and cultural heritage on to future generations.
