\nweek, the White House and Downing Street have announced. Boris Johnson, whose
\ncountry is currently holding the presidency of the group, has called for the summit,
\nwhile the international community has had different reactions to the current
\nsituation. It was President Joe Biden’s first conversation with a head of state
\nor government since the Taliban seized the capital, Kabul, after 20 years of
\nUS-led international coalition military intervention, in which the United
\nKingdom played an important role. In Brussels, the EU security chief Josep
\nBorrell admitted that the West had made mistakes in Afghanistan, in particular
\nbecause it did not anticipate the Taliban’s rapid takeover. He explained that
\nthe priority for the Union was to evacuate European citizens, but also Afghans
\nwho worked for the EU. <\/p>\n

\nTaliban. Bogdan Aurescu also spoke about the possibility of receiving, in
\nRomania, after an analysis of each case, Afghan refugees from among those who
\nhave worked with Romanian troops, NATO, the EU or other international

\nprotect the lives of citizens, as well as the need to immediately restore
\nsecurity and civil order in that country. President Klaus Iohannis convened a
\nmeeting of the Supreme Council of National Defense for next Wednesday to
