According to him, the Taliban did not keep their promises to the world. This applies both to promises of free evacuation of foreigners and Afghans from Afghanistan, and to the composition of the government, which should be inclusive and representative.
“They said they would allow some foreigners and Afghans to leave freely, and (talked about) inclusive and representative government, but they are lying,” Le Drian said.
He also noted that France will not recognize the Taliban-created government until it sees the actions of the Taliban.
“France refuses to recognize this government or have any relationship with it. We want action from the Taliban and they will need some economic respite from international relations,” he said.
France evacuated 3,000 people from Afghanistan and agreed on further evacuation. According to Le Drian, in Afghanistan still has a few French citizens and several hundred Afghans associated with France.
