Thus, solid relations were established between the two states. Within the framework of these good relations, ambassadors were also appointed. As a matter of fact, Turkey appointed Fahreddin Pasha as its Ambassador to Kabul, Afghanistan in 1922. A delegation was also formed to work with Fahreddin Pasha in Kabul. As a soldier, Major Hüseyin Bey also took part in the delegation. Major Hüseyin Bey served under Fahreddin Pasha for eight months.
