Reference News Network reported on September 10 According to a report on the website of Singapore’s Lianhe Zaobao on September 10, the White House said that a chartered plane carrying American citizens and legal permanent residents of the United States had safely arrived in Qatar from Afghanistan. This is the first civil aviation plane to take off from Kabul Airport since the United States officially withdrew its troops from Afghanistan.
The report quoted Reuters as saying that the National Security Council said on Thursday (9th) local time that similar evacuation arrangements would continue.
US National Security Council spokesperson Horn said: “The Taliban have cooperated with us to help ensure that this group of American citizens and legal permanent residents leave Afghanistan by chartered flight…”
She said that the Taliban demonstrated flexibility, professionalism, and pragmatism in this arrangement, which she called “a positive first step.”
According to the report, the US State Department expects that more people will leave Afghanistan by chartered flights or other means in the future.
US State Department spokesperson Price said on Thursday: “The United States told Taliban officials that the international community will take a positive view of more similar arrangements.”
The report pointed out that Price refused to disclose how many American citizens were on board the chartered plane that day. He only stated that the U.S. government invited 30 Americans and legal permanent residents to leave on this chartered plane, but not all of them accepted the invitation from the United States.
