The Taliban have deployed security forces and technicians to the Kabul airport to repair the facilities, and are trying to restore order and work in Afghanistan's security, legal, health and banking sectors, Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said in an exclusive interview with CGTN on Tuesday.
The spokesperson also told CGTN that the new Afghan government will be an Islamic government.
"Without any doubt, it will be an Islamic government... Whatever the combination, it should be Islamic. It being Islamic is guaranteed," he said, adding he hopes discussions and consultation on the new government's formation would come to a good conclusion.
Mujahid highlighted stabilizing security and solving technical problems when talking about the preparation for airport operations.
"We have created a special force that will maintain security at the airport, and we are hopeful that our technical team will solve these problems soon so that normal operations resume," he said.

As for plans to resume normal life for the Afghan people, Mujahid mentioned that measures have been taken in areas such as security, health and education.
"Firstly, one of the most important services is security – people are provided with good security and the rule of law is established," he said, adding that an acting overseer is assigned, health services are provided and efforts in the education sector are in progress.
"We hope that the government is announced soon and everything gets back to normal," he said.
