British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has welcomed Afghans to live safely in Britain, noting his country's enduring commitment to the Afghan people. 

Johnson revealed in a Facebook post that "a new resettlement scheme will create a safe and legal route for those in most need to come and live safely in the UK."

He divulged to Parliament that the Taliban should be judged “based on the choices it makes and by its actions rather than by its words, on its attitudes to terrorism, to crime and narcotics, as well as humanitarian access and the rights of girls to receive an education." 

Johnson called for an assessment of the situation in Afghanistan, adding that the UK will do "everything we can to avert a humanitarian crisis.”

According to the White House, US President Joe Biden spoke with the British PM about the current situation in Afghanistan, and the two agreed to a virtual meeting with G7 leaders next week.

Biden and Johnson discussed the "need for continued close coordination among allies and democratic partners on Afghanistan policy going forward, including ways the global community can provide further humanitarian assistance and support for refugees and other vulnerable Afghans."

British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, revealed that he and his US counterpart Anthony Blinken addressed the importance of international collaboration in order to prevent terrorist organizations from using Afghanistan as a base.

After the recent escalation of violence in various parts of the country and the takeover by the Taliban, the United Nations called on countries neighboring Afghanistan to open their borders to refugees. 

The British army chief stated today, Wednesday, that the world should give the Taliban leeway to form a new government in Afghanistan and that the Taliban may have become more reasonable.

Britain's chief of the defense staff, Nick Carter, disclosed that he was in contact with the former Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who intends on meeting with the Taliban on Wednesday.

Carter continued to the BBC, "It may be that this Taliban is different to the one that people remember from the 1990s."
