Britain says it wants to engage with Taliban, while EU declares aims for presence in Kabul to coordinate engagement with Afghanistan's new rulers
Top UK and EU bloc diplomats say engagement with Taliban is meant for"direct line of communication" and their countries will not recognise the movement as new government in Kabul.
Speaking on Friday during a visit to Pakistan, Raab said it would not have been possible to evacuate about 15,000 people from Kabul without cooperation with the Taliban, who seized the capital on August 15. But they are wary of Taliban's promises that Afghanistan will not go back to the harsh rule exercised during their last period in power before 2001.
He said Britain had released the first tranche of a 30 million pound package of humanitarian assistance for Afghanistan's neighbours, which may have to bear the brunt of any large exodus.
