France indicated Tuesday that it could remain open to recognizing a Taliban government, two days after the group seized control of Afghanistan and attempted to assure the international community of peace and stability.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that speaking to Radio France, Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian stressed that the Taliban has to demonstrate it has changed by forming a “truly inclusive and representative” government.
He said the Taliban in its recent statements have said they want “respectability and honour.”
