    Blinken to Afghan President: Afghanistan should not be a source of threat to America or its allies.

In the wake of the Taliban's control of Afghani lands, after the withdrawal of foreign and Western forces, the US Secretary of State confirms Washington's permanent commitment to Afghanistan.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken affirmed, during a telephone conversation with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani "the United States' strong and enduring commitment to Afghanistan."

Both parties stressed the necessity of speeding up peace negotiations and achieving a comprehensive political settlement that "respects the rights of all Afghans, including women and minorities, allows the Afghan people to choose their leaders, and prevents Afghanistan from being a threat to the United States, its allies and partners."

The two sides also condemned the ongoing Taliban attacks, which "show no regard for life and human rights."

Ghani had earlier accused the Taliban of fomenting sedition by insisting on war, and not entering into serious negotiations.
