Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi says the Group of 20 has agreed to work together to avoid a humanitarian disaster in Afghanistan, even if it means having to coordinate efforts with the Taliban.
The European Union opened the talks by pledging one billion euros which will go to urgent humanitarian needs and also assist neighbouring countries in taking in Afghans who have been fleeing since the Taliban took control of the country on August 15.
Draghi says there has basically been a convergence of views on the need to address the humanitarian emergency.
Draghi says the absence of China’s President and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin did not undercut the importance of the meeting organised by Italy, the current G20 chair.
