Ready to work with Taliban if need be: British PM

(PTI) London, 31st

Britain, which claims not to allow the Taliban regime to come to power at gunpoint in Afghanistan, has changed tack in a single week. Britain's efforts to find a diplomatic solution to Afghanistan are ongoing and are ready to work with the Taliban if needed, British Prime Minister Boris Jones has said.

"The task of evacuating British nationals and allies from Kabul airport is extremely difficult," Jones told the media after a cabinet meeting on the crisis in Afghanistan. But the situation has recently partially improved. I assure our people that efforts are underway to find a political and diplomatic solution for Afghanistan. However, we are also prepared to work with the Taliban if need be. However, this will be the final option. As of Friday, more than 3,000 British nationals and their supporters in Afghanistan had been evacuated from Kabul. He stressed that his government was working day and night to evacuate as many people as possible from Afghanistan.

Regarding the Taliban, Jones said he believes the new Taliban are more likely to be more moderate. However, we can only hope for this. However, I have spoken to American President Biden, French President Macron, German Chancellor Merkel, and we all agree on one thing: we will evaluate them from the actions of the new Taliban. And that is very important. The British government, meanwhile, has announced plans to allocate લાખ 5 million to local councils to provide housing to Afghans in Britain under the ARAP program.
