14-07-2022
Following the four speeches, the EU Ambassador to Afghanistan, Mr. Andreas von Brandt, commented on the different presentations and laid down the EU’s perspective on the issues raised. He argued that the EU indeed did not grasp the gravity and depth of the problem immediate after the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban in August 2020. Yet, while Mr. von Brandt acknowledged that many mistakes have been made by the West in the past 20 years, he said that it is important to look at the present and acknowledge the many successes, especially in the fields of health, sanitation, media, budgeting and finance.
