The United Kingdom holds the rotating leadership of the Group of Seven, which also includes the United States, Italy, France, Germany, Japan and Canada.
“It is imperative that the international community work together to ensure safe retreats, avert a humanitarian crisis, and support the Afghan people to secure the rights they have gained over the past 20 years,” Johnson said on Twitter on Sunday (22).
Britain’s Armed Forces Minister, James Hebei, said there were still around 4,000 people eligible to immigrate to the country. Initial US plans to withdraw troops expire on August 31.
“Last week we learned that planned deadlines are not always within our control,” Hebe said. The longer the time, he said, the more people evacuated from Kabul.
