The European Union has not recognised the Taliban, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Saturday, nor is it holding political talks with the militants, a week after they seized control of Afghanistan.
The Taliban completed a lightning takeover of Afghanistan on Sunday, walking into the capital Kabul without firing a shot.
Von der Leyen said she would propose an increase in the 57 million euros in humanitarian aid which the Commission had allocated this year for Afghanistan. "We may well hear the Taliban's words but we will measure them above all by their deeds and actions," von der Leyen told a news conference.
