He emphasized the need to avoid “mass exile” from Afghanistan, where thousands of people have fled the horribly cruel return of the Taliban regime.
On Friday, he told BBC Radio 4’s Today program: “This approach requires proactiveness… which is why we have been saying and asking our friends and our allies to’please, we need to constructively engage with the Taliban touch’.
“They are political reality, they are there, and we need to involve them.”
He emphasized that Pakistan has taken in three to four million refugees.

/ ReutersIn recent days, the British Prime Minister’s Special Representative for Afghanistan’s Transition, Sir Simon Gass, also met with the “Senior Taliban Representative” in Qatar, emphasizing the importance of allowing hundreds of British nationals still in Afghanistan and thousands of Afghans to leave.
A source from the Islamic organization said today that Taliban co-founder Mullah Baradal will lead a new Afghan government that is about to be established as its fighters fight forces loyal to the conquered Republic in the Panjshir Valley in northern Kabul.
However, the most urgent challenge for the new government is to avoid economic collapse due to drought and conflict, which killed an estimated 240,000 Afghans.
According to three sources, the head of the Taliban’s political office, Baradal, will serve as Mullah Mohamed Yaqub and Sher Mohamed Abbas Stanekzai, the son of the late Taliban co-founder Mullah Omar. Senior government positions.
“All the top leaders have arrived in Kabul, where they announced that the preparations for the new government have entered the final stage,” said a Taliban official.
Another Taliban source said that the supreme religious leader of the Taliban, Haibatullah Ahunzada, will focus on religious affairs and governance within the framework of Islam.
The Taliban occupied Kabul on August 15 after sweeping most of the country, but faced resistance in the Panjshir Valley, where fierce fighting was reported.
Under the leadership of Ahmed Masood, son of former Mujahideen commander Ahmed Shah Masood, thousands of remnants of regional militias and government armed forces gathered in the rugged valley.
Efforts to negotiate a settlement seem to have failed, and both sides blamed the failure on the other side.
Although the Taliban expressed their desire to form a consensus government, a source close to the radical movement said that the provisional government currently being formed will only consist of Taliban members.
The source added that it will include 25 ministries and a consultative committee or Shura composed of 12 Muslim scholars.
According to sources, there are also plans to hold a Loya Jirga, or a large assembly, within 6 to 8 months to bring together the elders and representatives of Afghan society to discuss the constitution and the structure of the future government.
The Taliban implemented a radical form of Sharia or Sharia law during their rule from 1996 to 2001.
But this time, the movement tried to show the world a more gentle face, promising to protect human rights, not retaliate against old enemies, and allow people to leave the country.
However, Tom Tugendhat, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Commons, criticized this as “a clever public relations operation to cover up the vicious death cult.”
