The NSA raised the question of whether the world would repeat the mistake of leaving Afghanistan and the region. "We lost over 80,000 innocent lives and bore the burden of over $150 billion economic losses. It was the collective responsibility of the international community to avoid creating a humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan,” he said.

The Taliban, he added, have signalled to work with the international community, where the international community should coordinate its efforts. He said the international community should move forward with consensus with the major powers and Afghanistan’s close neighbours.
