:Saleh Haider  East Turkistan foreign Minister 

 : The establishment of a foreign ministry for the Turkestan government in exile or in any other context indicates an important step aimed at strengthening the political and cultural identity of the people of Turkestan, and opening channels of communication with the international community.

The most important objectives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are the following points:.

  1. The Ministry aims to increase awareness of the Uighur issue and their problems in China, including human rights violations.

2 The Ministry seeks to establish relations with countries and international organizations to support the cause, and to enhance cooperation in areas such as human rights

  1. The Ministry can work to support expatriates and provide them with legal, cultural, religious and logistical assistance. 1But the ministry may face a challenge in obtaining official international recognition, especially from countries with strong relations with China

Therefore, the ministry could face pressure from China or from other countries that want to maintain good relations with Beijing. But the establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can be seen as part of a larger effort to restore the national and political identity of   east-turkistan people in light of the pressures they face in China..

This move may also reflect aspirations towards greater representation in the international arena, despite the challenges ahead

 Among the most notable achievements  and achieved is attending international events: And participating in international conferences that discuss human rights or issues related to China, such as meetings at the United Nations and others.

 also organized cultural events to enhance identity, such as art festivals, film screenings, and workshops, as well as providing legal support for hundreds of cases.
