Pakistan warns against sanctioning Taliban, saying it is best positioned to get rid of Daesh. Meanwhile, Italy hosts a summit of G20 nations with focus on humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan
Taliban fighters get out of a vehicle as they take a day off to visit the amusement park at Kabul's Qargha reservoir, on the outskirts of Kabul, on October 8, 2021.
The video conference on Tuesday, which is due to start at 1 pm , will focus on aid needs, concerns over security and ways of guaranteeing safe passage abroad for thousands of Western-allied Afghans still in the country. "The main problem is that Western countries want to put their finger on the way the Taliban run the country, how they treat women for example, while China and Russia, on the other hand, have a non-interference foreign policy," said a diplomatic source close to the matter.
The virtual summit comes just days after senior US and Taliban officials met in Qatar for their first face-to-face meeting since the hardline group retook power.
