Supreme Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrel made a negotiators for the European Union with representatives of the Taliban Movement. He stated in an interview with Le Journal du Dimanche.
Taliban Now for us become inevitable interlocutors in the negotiations. We should provide our presence in Kabul and try to avoid our other powers, “Borrel said. He emphasized that “what happened in Afghanistan was a genuine failure for the West.” “This will make strong changes to the international balance of forces, so all the necessary conclusions should be made in order to avoid repetition of such a situation in other countries,” the EU diplomacy chapter said.
“It is unacceptable to just close the page of Kabul, believing that the situation in this country does not concern us,” Burrel continued. “It is not about to recognize the government of the Taliban or agree with their vision of the world and their actions that are on this. Vision is based. We should give to understand the Taliban, which is not in their interests to be derailed from foreign powers, in particular European. “
he noted that the European Union intends “to increase its humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan four times. Borrel also said that “in the current period, when Afghanistan threatens a strong humanitarian crisis, caused by war and the strongest drought, the European Union should negotiate with the Taliban.”
