Mujahid added the government’s work will start with the reforms in constitution. It should be Islamic and will be done in the future.
The spokesperson also said, former Afghanistan vice president Amrullah Saleh is in Tajikistan now.
Meanwhile, as the Taliban claimed it had captured Panjshir Valley, the spokesperson added there were no civilian casualties while "taking over Panjshir".
"There was a shortage of food during the fighting," the Taliban leader said, adding, "but we will fix that now." He added, "China should cooperate with us, there are so many projects awaited due to security concerns like roads and other infrastructure, they all will be implemented soon."
"The Taliban wants to negotiate this matter (Panjshir), the jihadi commanders were used in this to resolve the matters for negotiation and dialogue. When our delegation went there they did not get positive answers, so the Islamic Emirate sent their military," he added.
