Prior to that, a charter flight departed from Kabul with Americans and citizens of other countries on board.
“We welcome the Taliban's actions to facilitate this flight as part of their commitment to allow those with travel documents and want to leave to do so,” Blinken said in a statement.
According to him, such steps of the Taliban will be positively perceived by the international community.
Earlier, the European Union expressed concern over the creation of the interim government of Afghanistan by the radical Taliban movement, which, according to the EU, does not reflect the expectations of the community and the international obligations of the Taliban.
