DOHA (Reuters) -British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said on Thursday there is a need to engage with the Taliban on Afghanistan, but Britain has no immediate plans to recognise their government.<\/p>

Raab was speaking during a joint press conference with Qatar Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani in Doha, where he visited housing for refugees evacuated from Afghanistan after the Taliban swept to power last month.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Mohammed said Qatar was talking with the Taliban and working with Turkey for potential technical support to restart operations at Kabul airport.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are engaging with them (Taliban), engaging also with Turkey if they can provide any technical assistance on that front. Hopefully in the next few days there will be some good news,\u201d Sheikh Mohammed said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no clear indication when (the airport) is going to be fully operational yet…We remain hopeful that we will be able to operate it as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The hardline Islamist militant Taliban seized control of the Afghan capital Kabul last month, but have yet to name an administration or reveal how they intend to govern.<\/p>\n

Raab said he had discussed with Qatari officials ensuring Afghanistan does not harbour terrorism in the future, preventing a humanitarian crisis, preserving regional stability and holding the Taliban to account on their public pledge to set up a more inclusive government.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur commitment on the part of the United Kingdom to Afghanistan remains. We need to adjust to the new reality,\u201d Raab told reporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur immediate priority is to secure the safe passage of those remaining British nationals, and also the Afghans who worked for the United Kingdom, and others who may be at the most risk,\u201d he said, adding that he would be talking to regional leaders about securing safe passage through third countries.<\/p>\n

Britain has moved its Afghanistan embassy from Kabul to the Qatari capital Doha.<\/p>\n
