The United Nations has promised continued “humanitarian assistance” to Afghanistan after meeting with the Taliban, a spokesperson for the terrorist group said on Sunday.

“The U.N. delegation promised continuation of humanitarian assistance to the Afghan people, saying he would call for further assistance to Afghanistan during the coming meeting of donor countries,” Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen said on Twitter following a meeting with the U.N. Under-Secretary-General for humanitarian affairs.
