The six border countries of Afghanistan and Russia on Wednesday asked the Taliban to “adopt a friendly attitude” towards their neighbors and fulfill their commitments especially in the fight against terrorism.

The heads of diplomacy from Iran, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan met in the Iranian capital on Wednesday, while their Russian and Chinese counterparts participated by videoconference.
This is the second meeting of this type and a third is planned in 2022 in Beijing.
In a video message addressed to the participants, the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, recalled the need to “protect and help the refugees” and “avoid the total collapse of the Afghan economy.”
