London: UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab on Thursday said he discussed the situation in Afghanistan with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.

“Discussed Afghanistan with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi today. We noted the importance of addressing security concerns, regional stability and addressing the humanitarian crisis,” Raab wrote on his Twitter page on late Thursday.

Later, Raab said that he had also discussed the developments in Afghanistan with his Turkish counterpart, Mevlut Cavusoglu.

"UK & Turkey are working closely together in Afghanistan to ensure evacuations can continue safely. I expressed gratitude for Turkish foreign minister @MevlutCavusoglu's commitment to safeguarding Kabul airport alongside our troops," Raab wrote on Twitter.

The Taliban entered Kabul on August 15, ending a weeks-long offensive and resulting in the collapse of the US-backed government.
