This was stated in a joint statement issued by the High Representative of the EU, Italy, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany and other countries.
"We have received assurances from the Taliban that all foreign citizens and any Afghan citizen with travel authorization from our countries will be able to proceed safely and orderly to departure points and travel outside the country," the statement read.
"We will continue to issue travel documents to designated Afghans and we have a clear expectation and commitment from the Taliban that they can travel to our respective countries. We take note of public statements by the Taliban confirming this understanding," the statement continues. "We are all committed to ensuring that our citizens, compatriots and residents, employees, Afghans who have worked with us and those at risk, can continue to travel freely to destinations outside Afghanistan," the statement said.
