Germany has closed its consulate general in Mazar-i-Sharif in northern Afghanistan in the course of the international military withdrawal, a diplomat said on Tuesday.
The last German troops, who had been based in a sprawling military camp on the fringes of Mazar-i-Sharif, left the country last week.
The consulate general was also situated on the base since a 2016 suicide attack severely damaged the building in Mazar-i-Sharif that originally housed the representation.
This comes after Russia’s Consulate in the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif has also temporarily closed due to security concerns in Balkh province, Russian Presidential Envoy for Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov said on Monday.
