In the United States, the Taliban hold “fruitful” talks on humanitarian aid: State Department-News

[ad_1]

Taliban representatives and US officials discussed humanitarian access during a two-day meeting.

US State Department spokesperson Ned Price said on Tuesday that the United States and the Taliban had “fruitful discussions” on humanitarian aid in Afghanistan at a meeting in Qatar over the weekend, adding that the talks were “basically positive.”

During a two-day meeting between Taliban representatives and U.S. officials (including some from the intelligence community and the United States Agency for International Development), officials discussed humanitarian access issues.

Price said the talks focused on security and terrorism issues, safe passages for foreign nationals and US Afghan allies to leave the country, and human rights.

Washington has repeatedly called on the new rulers of Afghanistan to show respect for human rights, including the rights of women and girls, in order to win international legitimacy.

Price said: “As we have always done, the delegation made it clear that the final judgement of the Taliban is not only its words, but also its actions.”

Price added that a separate meeting was held with Taliban representatives on Tuesday, which included EU officials and US officials.

Since the Taliban took power in August, Washington has frozen bilateral aid to Afghanistan, but said it is still providing aid through non-governmental organizations. Some people call for the government reserves held in the United States to be provided to the new government led by the Taliban to alleviate the growing humanitarian crisis.
