She also stated that “the Taliban are going in the wrong direction. As long as they follow this path, there will be no room for normalization or even recognition of the Taliban as the legitimate rulers of the country,” stressing that “any economic assistance to the Taliban in Afghanistan must be combined with improved human rights conditions.”

She noted that “Germany will continue to help Afghans who want to leave their country and praised Pakistan for facilitating their travel to Germany,” adding, “We will continue to provide humanitarian assistance and support the people who need it most, especially women. and girls who suffer more than anyone else in the country.”
