Di Maio, when the US leaves Kabul we will leave too

(ANSA) - ROME, AUGUST 24 - "After the Americans have left the airport of Kabul (the hypothesized date for now is at the end of the month) it will not be possible, neither for us nor for any country of the Alliance, to maintain any presence in the airport".

This was stated by Foreign Minister Luigi DiMaio to the Foreign and Defense Commissions of the Chamber and Senate.

    "To date we have evacuated all the Italians who have asked us to leave the country, responding to the communication sent by the Embassy", continued Di Maio. "We have brought almost 2,700 Afghans to Italy, mainly collaborators of Italian institutions, starting from our military quota, and their families", added Di Maio, underlining that the number "is destined to grow, considering that about a thousand Afghans are already safely at the airport and are expected to board upcoming Italian flights ".
