Sulaiman Layeq (Pashto: سليمان لايق, sometimes also Romanised as Laeq or Laiq) (12 October 1930 - 31 July 2020) was an Afghan politician, ideologue and poet[2][3][4] who held the positions of President of the Academy of Sciences, full member of the Afghan Politburo, and Minister of Nationalities and Tribal Affairs.
Initially a student of the College of Theology, he graduated from the College of Literature in 1958. Laeq was a poet and writer in Pashtu and Dari. During 1957–68, Laeq held different posts in the national controlled media.
After the Khalq Government had removed most Parchamis, Laeq served as a temporary candidate member of the Politburo. Though he was imprisoned for being pro-Karmal the authorities treated him mildly. By 1980, following the intervention of the Soviet Army in Afghanistan, Laeq held several posts. By this time he had become a member of the Central Committee of the Parcham faction of the PDPA.[2]
In 1981 he was promoted to President of the Academy of Sciences, full member of the Afghan Politburo, and Minister of Nationalities and Tribal Affairs.
