Members of the G-20 meeting in a virtual summit pledged to provide aid
to the people of Afghanistan in a bid to prevent a humanitarian
catastrophe in the war-torn country, Tolo News reported.
The
summit was hosted by Italy on Tuesday. Some members of the summit cited
that provision of aids didn't indicate recognition of the "Taliban"
government.
Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, said that
her country is not ready to recognise the "Taliban". According to her,
the Taliban have not met the international measures and expectations of
the world, the report said.
The US said that it would provide donation through aid organisations to the people of Afghanistan.
Addressing
the summit, US President Joe Biden also expressed concerns over the
presence of armed groups such as ISIS-K or so-called Daesh group in
Afghanistan.
The European Union pledged to provide one million Euro in support of humanitarian donation to the country.
Canadian
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that the international community
emphasised on preservation of the human rights, particularly the rights
of girls and women.
The summit was not attended by the Presidents of China and Russia.
This
comes as earlier, the UN and humanitarian organisations had warned of
triggering a severe humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.
