look a mob of the diversity of, of issues that will cover it, reflects of a powerful reality which is the growing strength of the relationship between the united states and cutter spanning shared security and economic interests. cooperation on many regional challenges and growing people to people ties among other things. the events in afghanistan over the past several months have reinforced at partnership, including in on the most sensitive and urgent issues. i had the opportunity to, to thank a mirror to me in person for cutters, extraordinary generosity, support and cooperation. when i traveled to dough on september and witnessed 1st hand the massive joint operation to evacuate, americans foreign nationals, and afghans who are our partners over our 20 year mission in afghanistan. of the more than 124000 people evacuated from afghanistan in august,

roughly half transited through cutter. and that were continues. since that time, cutter is facilitated and funded an additional 15 flights and counting out of afghanistan, enabling hundreds of us citizens, thousands of others to leave the country. and the government and cutter airways continue to support charter flights out of afghanistan for u. s. special immigrant visa holders and others. ah, on that note, i can confirm that as of november 10th, all us citizens who have requested assistance from the united states government to depart afghanistan. and who of, ah, we have identified as prepared to depart and having the necessary travel documents have been offered an opportunity to, to do so. that includes more than $300.00 america throughout an eighties, use me, american citizens, and more than $280.00 legal permanent residence whose departure we have already

facilitated. meanwhile, cutter support for operations at the airport in couple of allowed humanitarian assistance from the international community to flow into afghanistan, including several flights from the world health organization carrying life saving medical supplies for over 2000000 afghans. today we're signing to new agreements that reflect our deepening collaboration on afghanistan. the 1st established cutter as the united states protecting power in afghanistan. cutter will establish a u. s. intersection within its embassy in afghanistan to provide certain costs where services and monitor the condition, security of u. s. diplomatic facilities in afghanistan. the 2nd agreement formalize is our partnership with cutter to facilitate the travel of afghans with us special immigrant visas. a role that it's already been playing in many instances and serve as a transit point for eligible afghans as they complete their application process. mohammed

me again say how grateful we are for odd your leadership, your support on afghanistan. but also to, to note that our partnership is much broader than that. and that's reflected in the very good conversation that we just had. the uh, regular conversations that we have on many issues of common concern in the region and beyond. a cutter is a crucial partner in promoting regional stability. not only hosting u. s. troops to provide security across the region, but also providing significant economic and mandatory assistance to people in dire situations. over the last decade, cutter has donated more than $1300000000.00 and $8.00 to palestinians in gaza and provide a considerable swore to the many people, including a $100000000.00 pledging in august. and another 90000000. the amir donated just this week through the world food program. we're also working together on challenging issues like labor rights. we stand ready to support cutter and ensuring the full implementation of its labor reforms,

including ensuring that all workers in the country are covered by the new minimum wage law and are able to change employers and leave the country without certificates and permits. so we're now preparing to mark the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our nations. and i think it's fair to say that the cutter us relationship has never been stronger. and we believe it will only grow deeper and more diverse to the benefit of our people and so many others. and with that over to you, farm install tani vomit. thank you, mister secretary. good morning, everybody fits for it. thank you for the hospitality and warm welcome tony. i wish also to thank both dedications for their walk and efforts in preparing this a dialogue. the 4th i thought you are strategic dialogue presents another milestone

in our historically throwing partnership that flourishing ties between our 2 countries. enabled by the mutual commitments of, for 2 governments, their most directed not only by wide scope of followed cooperation, but also by the deep friendship between our nations. we are partners in defense, security, investments, education and energy. and we are a global leaders in the fight against terrorism. this is possible because our friendship spans decades cross institutions. this year, our friendship become, become, became even closer. when butler worked closely with the united states and our international partners that on the clock to evacuate more than $60000.00 individuals from afghanistan, including american citizens, female students from across the country, afghan employees and their families and jordan at us from out on the old thought

that was own out to be in a trusted position to step up and rescue so many people. and we will continue to be an instrument of peace and stability in the region. there is still much to be done enough, got us done, and thought that remains committed to continue then as a city walk alongside with the united states and partners along the world. we are dedicated to contributing to the severity of afghanistan and this safety. and what would have being of the african people the south asia di looked to day, would discuss issues of mutual interest and literary effort. our determination to deepen our co operation in various fields, including strengthening our defense and security partnership. another pillar of our relationship is our collection partnership, but that has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the u. s. economy. these investments translates into tens of thousands of jobs across the u. s. and our

economic bought the ship exceeded $200000000000.00 us dollars of trade and investments between our 2 countries. as it is being produced, set off, natural gas, ourselves an important role in helping countries meet their energy needs. why and family believing and the importance of emission reduction measures throughout a globe and investments in a goodie and innovation and technologies alongside and the thought on vitamin had a strategy. our investments reflect our commitment to care for environment. as of 2021 more than half of thought, that investment authority, investments in power generation projects are 0 emissions. mister secretary, i am grateful for our discussion today and for all your efforts, i look forward to expanding this extraordinary thought notion to day our 2 nations are connected by deep political, cultural, military and financial bonds. and i believe our greatest fortunate tees are still

ahead of us. the year 2022 would be a special one. it marks the 50th anniversary of our alliances between the united states and thought and in november of next year. thought a will host that he thought cook, which will be the 1st carbon util odyssey towards cup this year. we also celebrate upper you us a year of culture which contin number of events celebrating go along friendly relationship, crossed the years. i look forward will coming, you and your team and or her for the 5th strategic dialogue. and i personally invite you to watch old cup much together. so this is a good excuse for you to come to the her, and i wish your usd him the best of luck to nathan cincinnati saw you ordered it was a 1000 door, had to watch it again there to ben. thank you thought that's a hard invitation to say no to thank you.

well, we have just been listening to the u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin and the katara minister of foreign affairs mohammed bernard that a man and fanny making quite a significant announcement. ah, they have just announced that catera is to handle u. s. interests in afghanistan and debt. they are assigning 2 agreements right now. as you can see on your screen. let's bring in rosalyn jordan. she's joining us from the state department roslyn. we might be crossing back to what's going on right now to listen to the questions from journalists. i might cut you off in just a moment, but 1st, how significant is this announcements?

this is a major development, and that's because the u. s. needs to have some way of engaging inside afghanistan with out showing any legitimacy or recognizing the rule of the taliban in cobble. the u. s. has steadfastly refused to do so. it is upheld the of some $7000000000.00 in afghan, our financial assets here in the united states. because it does not time yet believe that the taliban can be a trusted owed party to run the government in afghanistan, because they're also still usaa nationals and relatives in the country. the us needs to have a way to provide consular services to them. and so with cut her stepping up and agreeing to provide that sort of engagement and assistance and willing to be a go between, between washington and cobbled that makes it possible for ra washington to achieve

rosalind a to come by for a moment. we're just going to cross back and, and taken the questions from the journalist is asian of ukraine by russia. what will washington do on dollars? it's neighbors say the crisis is escalating towards the potential military clash. will the united states join you in sanctioning belarus and given lucas jenko it's already sanctioned? why do you think it's going to work this time? very quickly on china? ahead of biden's, she summit, us in china work together in glasgow. but how will you s balance out cooperation with the obligation to call out on china's human rights abuses in changing and shiny? if i may. and sex sibling can please feel, feel free to chime in as well on this one. i'm shake fanny, you've called for a more engagement with the taliban to avoid the learning humanitarian catastrophe. enough. denison. how unified are you with the united states in your approach? in that context, do you think the u. n. should consider delisting pilot on from functions regime?

thank you very much, i'm happy to start a mob and then kick it over to you ah, on russia, as i said the other day. ah, we're very concerned about some of the irregular movements of forces that we see on ukraine's borders. i can't speak to my brushes, intentions, we don't know what they are. ah, but we do know that we've seen in the past. russia mass forces on ukraine's borders. i'm claim some kind of provocation by ukraine. ah. and then invade and basically following through on something that we're planning all along. that's what they did in 2014. and so this raises raises real concerns about a, an effort to repeat what was done, what was done then ah, which, as i said, the other day would be a serious mistake. we're in very close consultation with,

ah, european allies and partners on this. we of course, had the ukrainians here, ah, this week, and i and, and talked about this, but i can't, i can't tell you what's in the mind of a present food and what his intentions are. i can just say that based on the past, we have real concerns about what we're seeing in the present. and it would be a serious mistake for russia to engage in a repeat of what it, what it did in 2014 ah, there is a process. agreed by both the ukraine in russia, the minsk process that continues to offer, i think the possibility of a resolving the differences and ending the occupation of parts of ukraine. and we would hope as well that of the, the parties would recommit to that and take the necessary steps to make that to

make that real. but what, what is, oh, as i said, a real concern are some of the, the movements that we're, we're seeing, especially given what prussia has done in the past with regard to bella bruce again, as i said the other day. um, we are also very concerned about the efforts by belarus, t migration as a, as a political weapon. i'm not going to preview or get ahead of any of any possible sanctions, but we are looking at some oh, various tools that we, that we have. and of course this is broader than the effort to use migration as a political weapon. it goes to the conduct of the lucas franko ha, regime and be loosened, denying the citizens of yellow bruce ah, the democracy to which they're entitled. and there again, we're very close consultation with,

with european allies and partners on this as well. and then finally, with regard to ha to china, ah, look, oh, i will let of course the, the president speak for, for the administration. we've noted repeatedly over the past 10 months that the relationship with china is among the most consequential. and also most complex that we have, as we said, it has different elements in it. hum, some cooperative ah, some competitive and others are adversarial. and we, we will manage all, all 3 at the same time. i think you'll see it in the engagement. the presence already had with found with president does she and the engagements to come on the work that we're doing to to do that. i

think there, there issues like climate that are in a sense, ah, are incumbent on every country in the international community to meet its responsibilities irrespective of differences, even profound differences. we have another is simply because it's in the interest of each of these countries including china and it's in the interest of humanity. and we've seen some progress coming out of the fact of cop 26. when it comes to china meeting its responsibilities on climate change, a lot more to be done. but this is profoundly in the interest of china citizens as well as citizens around the world. and irrespective of any other differences including em, very strongly felt principles that we will continue to stand for. ah, i think we can still expect to see countries meet, meet their responsibilities, including china.
