Biden ready to recognize Taliban, after China made move
Following China’s expression of interest to have an understanding with the Jihadist government of the Taliban, the US has also signified its willingness to recognize the new Afghan government.
US Department spokesman, Ned Price, made this known August 16.
The President Joe Bide Administration, however, gave a condition.
“Ultimately when it comes to our posture towards any future government in Afghanistan, it will depend upon the actions of that government. It will depend upon the actions of the Taliban,’ Price said.
“A future Afghan government that upholds the basic rights of its people, that doesn’t harbor terrorists and that protects the basic rights of its people including the basic fundamental rights of half of its population – its women and girls — that is a government we would be able to work with.”
Price added that the US negotiator on Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, is still in the Taliban’s diplomatic base of Qatar and there have been talks with the insurgents.
Biden, during his national address on Monday, also promised to prioritise the treatment of women and girls in Afghanistan.
