U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Friday that Britain would work with the Taliban if necessary after the militant's takeover of Afghanistan, and defended his foreign minister who has come under fire for his handling of the situation.
"What I want to assure people is that our political and diplomatic efforts to find a solution for Afghanistan, working with the Taliban, of course if necessary, will go on," Johnson told media.
Johnson said the situation at Kabul airport, where thousands of desperate Afghans have thronged seeking to flee the country, was getting "slightly better."
The British government said it had secured the evacuation of 1,615 people since Saturday, including 399 British nationals and their dependants, 320 embassy staff and 402 Afghans.
