The Taliban are reported to have taken control of Afghanistan. This situation has attracted a number of countries planning to approach the Taliban. The chaos in Afghanistan made many countries panic and close their embassies.

However, a number of countries have opened their doors and opened opportunities to establish relations with the Taliban. Citing the BBC, China said it was taking this opportunity to build deep ties with Afghanistan. China also respects the wishes and choices of the Afghan people, but will closely monitor the situation.

China will later try to prevent the situation there from having a negative impact on Xinjiang. This is because Xinjiang is an autonomous region bordering Afghanistan. Apart from China, Russia also does not want to lose. Russia said its ambassador to Afghanistan, Dmitry Zhirnov, would meet the Taliban to discuss the security of its embassy. Because the Russian embassy will continue to operate even if the Taliban is in power.

In addition to China and Russia, there is also an Iranian state which has implicitly opened up opportunities for establishing relations with the Taliban. Iran's new president, Ebrahim Raisi, said the US' "military failure" in Afghanistan would provide an opportunity for a more lasting peace in Afghanistan.

"The defeat of the United States military and their withdrawal should be an opportunity to restore life, security and lasting peace in Afghanistan," Raisi told Iranian state television.

On the other hand, a number of western countries have begun evacuating their citizens from Kabul. Germany, for example, opened an evacuation flight on the evening of August 15. Germany also deployed military aircraft there. The UK is also targeting as many as 1,500 Britons to be evacuated within the next 24-36 hours.
