Taliban said Thursday that Britain’s special envoy for Afghanistan, Richard Lindsay, has welcomed the recent ceasefire agreement between the Taliban and Pakistan during a meeting in Kabul with their refugees minister Abdul Kabir.
In a statement, Taliban said Lindsay expressed hope that the two sides would continue working toward a permanent ceasefire.
The statement quoted Lindsay as calling the Taliban’s assistance to vulnerable families and “timely response to people’s needs” an important achievement. It added that the United Kingdom has allocated 4 million pounds ($5.1 million) in aid for earthquake-affected communities in eastern Afghanistan, to be distributed through United Nations agencies.
According to the Taliban, Lindsay also cited the return of Afghan migrants and recent natural disasters as factors increasing the need for humanitarian assistance, saying London would continue providing aid to the Afghan people.
Kabir said his administration would use “all available resources” to support migrants and vulnerable populations.
