Putin has stated that Russia is considering removing the Taliban from its list of terrorist organisations. He went on to say that we all expect the Taliban, who are undeniably in charge of the situation in Afghanistan, to guarantee that the situation improves. In August, the Taliban took control of Kabul and declared the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan's provisional government in September. The Taliban have been attempting to gain worldwide prominence. However, the international community has made it plain that the Taliban must deliver on their promises before they would be recognised.
Earlier, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has urged the world community to release the frozen assets of Afghanistan and engage with the Taliban administration and provide humanitarian assistance to prevent an "economic collapse" of the country. According to Dawn, Khan made this appeal to the international community during his meeting with the outgoing Japanese ambassador, Kuninori Matsuda, at the Prime Minister's house. Imran Khan also stressed Pakistan's interest in a "peaceful" and "stable" Afghanistan, reported Dawn. He reportedly highlighted the importance of "national reconciliation" and an "inclusive" political structure.
