Career
Abdali was the Afghan Ambassador to India resident in New Delhi, and also the non-resident Ambassador to Bhutan, Maldives and Nepal.[4] He was subsequently nominated by President Hamid Karzai to serve as the Deputy National Security Advisor and Special Assistant to the former President of Afghanistan. Ambassador Abdali provided the President with policy and oversight advice on national security issues.[3] In this way he was fully active in Afghan politics.[5]
In January 2021, Abdali was appointed as the Afghan Ambassador to Japan.[6] He had been the Ambassador-designate in Tokyo without presenting his letter of credence for around four months because of the COVID-19 outbreak in Japan, especially the Japanese government has placed its capital, which includes the Imperial Palace, under a state of emergency due to COVID-19 on April 25.[7] Abdali eventually presented his letter of credence to Emperor Naruhito at the Imperial Palace on May 27.[8]
Despite the Fall of Kabul to the Taliban in August 2021, Tokyo still hosts Abdali as the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Afghanistan.[9]
Personal life
He is married and has four children.[3]
