On the 26th, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said at the UN Security Council's open meeting on Afghanistan that the Afghan people are in a harsh winter, not only trapped by the new crown epidemic, but also suffering from measles, diarrhea and other diseases. Guterres called on the international community to help Afghanistan increase liquidity, find ways to unfreeze foreign exchange reserves and get Afghanistan's central bank back into play to "pull the economy back from the brink of the cliff." Guterres also stressed that the international community's door to the Afghan Taliban has always been open. He urged the Taliban to work closely with the international community and the Security Council to curb the threat of terrorism and build institutions that could promote security.
