The G20 is 19 countries plus the European Union. It has just met and promised to help Afghanistan. Since the Taliban took over in August, the economy is in trouble. Germany's leader said if the economy collapsed, no one could give aid to the country. She said the international community had to help Afghanistan.
The G20 will talk to the Taliban about aid. It said it is hard to help people in Afghanistan without the Taliban. The EU will give more aid to Afghanistan. The Taliban said: "The international community needs to start cooperating with us." It will help to make the country safer. The Taliban wants to "engage positively with the world".
Back to the G20 leaders lesson.
