Islamabad:

Britain will not recognize the Taliban as the new government in Kabul but must face new realities in Afghanistan and does not want to see the country’s social and economic fabric shattered, Foreign Minister Dominic Raab said on Friday.

Speaking during a visit to Pakistan, he said it would not have been possible to evacuate some 15,000 people from Kabul without some degree of cooperation with the Taliban, who captured Kabul on the 15th. August.

“We see the importance of being able to engage and having a direct line of communication,” he said.
