MOSCOW, 27 September 2021, (TON): Russia’s foreign minister said “Russia, China, Pakistan and the United States are working together to ensure that Afghanistan’s new Taliban rulers keep their promises, especially to form a genuinely representative government and prevent extremism from spreading.”
Sergey Lavrov said the four countries are in ongoing contact.
He said “representatives from Russia, China and Pakistan recently travelled to Qatar and then to Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul, to engage with both the Taliban and representatives of “secular authorities” former president Hamid Karzai and Abdullah Abdullah, who headed the ousted government’s negotiating council with the Taliban.
Lavrov said “the interim government announced by the Taliban does not reflect “the whole gamut of Afghan society, ethno-religious and political forces, so we are engaging in contacts. They are ongoing.”
