Britain has called for China and Russia to agree to a coordinated international approach to prevent Afghanistan becoming a haven for militants.
Foreign minsters from the P5 group plan on meeting with UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, during the UN General Assembly in New York this week.
The P5 group includes the UN Security Council’s five permanent members: Britain, China, Russia, the US and France.
Britain will use the meeting to call for greater cooperation to improve international security, with a particular focus on Afghanistan.
The British plan includes all five countries working with other international military forces to prevent Afghanistan from becoming a home for global terrorists, following the Taliban takeover.
“If we want to avoid Afghanistan becoming a haven for global terror then the international community – including Russia and China – needs to act as one in its engagement with the Taliban,” Ms Truss said ahead of the meeting.
The Taliban has promised to not let the country become a safe place for terrorist groups. The last time they were in charge Osama bin Laden plotted the September 11 attacks.
