The UK Government has said it will continue to drive a coordinated international response to Afghanistan under Taliban control after its last troops left the country over the weekend, with a series of diplomatic efforts planned from Monday.

According to diplomatic sources in the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab will participate in a meeting with Qatar, Turkey, fellow G7 partners and NATO on Monday.

He will use the US chaired meeting with “like-minded partners” on Afghanistan to emphasise the UK’s four international priorities: preventing Afghanistan from becoming a haven for terrorists; responding to the humanitarian plight; safeguarding regional stability; and holding the Taliban to account on human rights.

In particular, the minister is expected to stress the importance of ensuring the Taliban stand by their commitment to allow “safe passage” for foreign nationals and Afghans authorised to enter third countries.

On counter-terrorism, he will underline the need for the Taliban to demonstrate that they are implementing the counter-terrorism commitments made in Doha, the sources indicated.

Raab will also set out some principles for how the West should engage the Taliban: on a pragmatic basis, “responsive to the actions of the Taliban not just their words” and coordinated across the international community with as broad a coalition as possible.

Meanwhile in New York, the UK says it has been working hard behind the scenes to establish a joint position among the five permanent members (P5) – the US, France, China, Russia and the UK – of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Following a meeting of Deputy Permanent Representatives of the P5 last week, the UN Secretary General is convening P5 Ambassadors on Monday evening.
