KABUL: The Taliban administration that seized control of Afghanistan proposed a joint body on Wednesday of its officials and international representatives to coordinate billions of dollars in planned aid.
An abrupt withdrawal of foreign aid last year following the hasty US exit and Taliban victory in August left Afghanistan's fragile economy on the brink of collapse, with food prices rising rapidly and causing widespread hunger. On Tuesday, the United Nations asked donors for US$4.4 billion in humanitarian aid for Afghanistan in 2022 and the White House announced it would donate an extra US$308 million.
"We ask the international communities that they should use the government capacities for their aid goals."
