The US has stated that it does not intend to recognize the Taliban government in the near future

Washington. September 9. INTERFAX - At a virtual meeting of representatives of a number of countries on Afghanistan, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken called on the world community to adopt a unified approach to the policy of the Afghan authorities, the US State Department said.

"Secretary Blinken called for unity in mitigating the potential humanitarian crisis and for the responsibility of the Taliban (the Taliban movement is banned in the Russian Federation) for the fight against terrorism," State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement.

According to him, Blinken also demanded that the Taliban movement ensure "safe passage for foreign citizens and Afghans who want to leave, and the formation of an inclusive government that respects fundamental rights."

"The United States will continue to use economic, diplomatic and political tools to support the rights of the Afghan people, especially women and girls, and to ensure that Afghanistan does not become a safe haven for terrorism," the statement said.

Blinken, who visited the US air base in Ramstein, Germany, after the meeting, repeated his earlier statement that the Taliban should earn an international calling.

"The Taliban are striving for international recognition. Any legitimacy, any support must be earned," the diplomat told reporters.

A senior State Department official, commenting on the results of the virtual meeting with journalists on board the Secretary of State's plane, confirmed: "There is nothing like that we consider it necessary to recognize or legitimize the government (of Afghanistan formed by the Taliban-IF) in the near future," he said.

He said that in general, all participants in the meeting, including Pakistan, adhere to the same position regarding the Taliban government.

At the same time, according to media reports, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said: "We must not allow the creation of a political vacuum in Afghanistan, leading to insecurity and instability."

According to him, "stability and peace in Afghanistan can be achieved only through greater, not less, regional and international participation."

"Pakistan, as the nearest neighbor, cannot afford to leave," he said.
