Envoy to be dispatched to Kabul to assist evacuations

Greece’s ambassador to Islamabad will be dispatched to Kabul to help evacuation efforts after the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan, if the security situation permits it, the Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias announced on Tuesday. 

Andreas Papastavrou will travel to the Afghan capital to help ensure that all citizens connected to Greece or to Greek interests are safely evacuated.

Dendias also told the country’s embassies in European Union member-states and in Washington to reach out to Greece’s partners for assistance to the Greek ambassador via their embassies in Kabul.
