(5 years ago)No one should recognise the Taliban as Afghanistan's government, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Sunday, adding that it was clear that very soon a new administration would be created in that country. “
“We don't want anyone to literally recognise the Taliban”, Prime Minister Johnson said in an interview, urging the West to work together on the issue of Afghanistan through mechanisms like the United Nations and NATO.
We want a united attitude, as much as possible, among all people who share the same ideas, so that we can do everything we can to prevent Afghanistan from becoming an area of terror development. ”
The British prime minister said the English ambassador to Afghanistan is extremely committed and works at the airport to help process applications.
Asked whether he anticipated Afghanistan would convince the Taliban so quickly, the prime minister replied: “I think it is fair to say that the United States' decision to withdraw has accelerated things”.
Meanwhile earlier Sunday, Russia said it still does not recognise Taliban rebels as Afghanistan's new legal authority, said in a report by Russian state news agency RIA./ VOA
