    The White House announced that US President Joe Biden discussed developments in Afghanistan with the Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi.
    They discussed the importance of continued close coordination between their military and civilian personnel in Kabul, who are working together tirelessly to safely evacuate their citizens, Afghans who courageously supported us and NATO in the war effort, and other vulnerable Afghan nationals, the White House statement said.
     
    The statement also mentioned that Biden and Draghi welcomed the opportunity for the G7 to plan a common approach to Afghanistan policy at next week’s virtual leaders’ meeting.
     
    It is noteworthy that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and US President Joe Biden agreed earlier to hold a virtual meeting of the leaders of the G7 countries to discuss the situation in Afghanistan in the wake of the Taliban's seizure of the power in the country.
