After Messy Pullout, Antony Blinken To Intensify Afghanistan Diplomacy
In a trip to Qatar and Germany, Antony Blinken will be overlapping with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin who went for a wider Gulf visit covering Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait
Sep. 6 - A week after declaring America's "new chapter" of engagement with Afghanistan, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will aim to form a united front with allies this week on how to tackle the Taliban and ensure continued support for U.S. bid to help evacuate Americans and at-risk Afghans who remained behind.
In a trip to Qatar and Germany, Blinken will be overlapping with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin who is also departing on Sunday for a wider Gulf visit covering Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait.
The visit by top two U.S. national security officials comes as the Biden administration still grapples with the fallout from what is widely seen as a messy U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, criticized by President Joe Biden's fellow Democrats, as well as Republicans.
Dubbed as a "thank you" tour to the Gulf countries and Germany, who were instrumental in helping Washington evacuate thousands of people out of Kabul, Blinken will meet with senior Qatari officials in Doha and German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas at Ramstein air base, where he will also co-host a ministerial meeting on Afghanistan.

Afghanistan crisis: US Secretary of State Blinken says investigation needed into 20-year war
Sep 4, 2021
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Friday that the country needs to “look back” at the 20-year war in Afghanistan, and that an investigation should include the State Department. He said the government needs to “ask the right questions and to learn the right lessons” from its deployment in Afghanistan. The secretary of state declined to comment on specific reports about a new Taliban-led government, but said the U.S. “has an expectation” that a new Afghan government will include non-Taliban representatives. He said the U.S. will watch any new government closely to “ensure it makes good on the commitments the Taliban have made.” Blinken also said Friday that he has “remarkable pride” in the U.S. service members who participated in the evacuation effort, stating that, especially in the case of the 13 service members killed in the attack at the Kabul airport, they “did a life’s work of service in a very short period of time.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca/news/8164854/ta...
