Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said no one wants Afghanistan to become a "breeding ground for terror", as the Taliban enters capital Kabul.
Speaking after a meeting of the emergency Cobra committee, he said the situation "continues to be extremely difficult" and will get even more so.
He called on "like-minded" powers to work together and not recognise any new government without agreement.

The situation is "extremely difficult" in Afghanistan and is "getting more difficult", said Mr Johnson.
"Our priority is to make sure we deliver on our obligations to UK nationals, to all those who have helped the British effort in Afghanistan over 20 years, and to get them out as fast as we can."
Mr Johnson said the British ambassador - who remains in Kabul - was "working around the clock" to do this and has been at the airport processing applications.
