stoltenberg: nato ended its military mission in afghanistan. as you know, nato allies are present at the airport. nato ended its military mission in afghanistan because 30 allies agreed to do so. that is a direct result of the u.s. agreement with the taliban in february 2020, where they agreed to end the u.s. presence. we have different nato allies like norway, and many other allies. they have done what they can over several months to get the soldiers out but also to take back as much equipment as possible. some equipment has been destroyed. but i don't have the exact numbers with all the different allies in afghanistan and each ally has the responsibility for its own equipment and some has been destroyed. and some is in afghanistan. >> thank you very much. this concludes this press conference.

stoltenberg: nato does not recognize states. nato allies can do that.t was stated in the meeting today that diplomatic recognition is something which has to be conditioned on how the new government behaves and to what extent they live up to their international commitments. the message is reflected in the statement agreed by foreign ministers today. that is about the need for afghanistan to live up to commitments. the commitment in the agreement with the united states signed in february of 2020, or last year, where they stated they should not support or provide safe haven for international terrorist groups like al qaeda or isis. that's a very obvious and important commitment because nato, our main task in afghanistan has to be to prevent the country from becoming a platform for launching terrorist attacks against our own countries. for 20 years we have prevented such attacks from afghanistan against nato allied countries. we need to preserve those gains. we discussed how we can preserve those gains, including by stating clearly to the new afghan rulers,

yen stoltenberg joins us.ould be in italy: -- -- what should be the nato policy after we exit afghanistan? secretary stoltenberg: first of all, to ensure that afghanistan does not once again become a safe haven for terrorists. the reason why nato allies into the u.s. going into afghanistan in 2001 was a direct response to the terrorist attack on the united states. our partners have struggled beside the u.s. for the last 20 years and for those 20 years, we presented afghanistan from being a safe haven for terrorists. we need to ensure that is also the case in the future. so we will follow the new rulers in kabul closely and make sure the allies have the capability to strike from a long distance. tom: i really want to focus on on the resolute support mission. the idea of the italians in the west of afghanistan, the germans up north where the alliance is, and then fish the turkish flag in the middle providing nato support -- nato support to afghanistan. explain nato's relationship with mr. erdogan and the new afg

joining me now is the nato secretary general stoltenberg. thank you for being with us.e have been hearing the difficulty that thousands and thousands of afghan allies to nato and the u.s. are having getting to the airport. what is nato's role in getting these people not just out from the airport but to the airport so they can leave? >> so, we have been working now for a long time on how to evacuate as many people as possible. this is part about making sure that allies are ready to resettle afghans who are supported those and worked for decades in afghanistan. i welcome the fact that allies are ready to do so. then it is about getting people out from the airport and on monday we had somebody difficult images from we have restored operations and the planes are flying in and out and we are doing whatever we can to increase capacity. there are around 800 civilian nato personnel at the airport providing critical services such as air traffic control, communications, and other essential services to make sure that the airport can function. and then it is the issue of getting pe

i spoke to secretary-general stoltenberg only the other day about nato's continuing role in afghanistan, but i really think that it is an illusion to believe that there is appetite among any of our partners for a continued military presence or for a military solution imposed by nato in afghanistan. that idea ended with the combat mission in 2014. i do not believe that today , deploying tens of thousands of british troops to fight the taliban is an option that, no matter how sincerely people may advocate it -- and i appreciate their sincerity, but i do not believe that would commend itself either to the british people or to this house. we must deal with the position as it now is, accepting what we have achieved and what we have not achieved. ms. eagle: the prime minister seemed to be making an argument earlier that he had anticipated something similar to what went on, by having the rapid response force ready and waiting. why, then, were he and the foreign secretary both on their holidays when this catastrophe happened? p.m. johnson: the government have been working around the clock to de
