ISLAMABAD: According to reports, Prime Minister Imran Khan has convened a meeting of the National Security Committee (NSC) to examine the security situation in Afghanistan today (Monday).
According to reports, the NSC will assess the situation in Afghanistan two decades after the Taliban took control of the nation.
President Ashraf Ghani departed the nation on Sunday, conceding the 20-year battle to the Taliban.
The government’s shockingly fast fall, with the Afghan Taliban seizing the presidential palace in Kabul late Sunday, sparked dread and panic throughout the city.
Thousands of Afghans attempted to flee Kabul on Monday, creating scenes of mayhem as throngs gathered at the airport.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Imran Khan met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and the two leaders discussed the quickly changing situation in Afghanistan.
Erdogan had been informed by the prime minister that the NSC will convene on Monday to discuss the developing situation. Following the meeting, the two leaders would meet again to coordinate their activities.
The prime minister underlined Pakistan’s commitment to continue its efforts in Afghanistan in favour of an inclusive political settlement.
