The leader of the Taliban delegation, who held historic talks with Western diplomats in the Norwegian capital Oslo, said the meeting was a success in itself.
According to the French news agency AFP, however, the international community has insisted that the Taliban must respect human rights before aid can be restored to Afghanistan, where more than half the population is at risk of starvation.
The Taliban on Monday held talks with representatives of the United States, France, Britain, Germany, the European Union and Norway after accepting a controversial invitation from Norway.
The closed-door talks took place at the Surya Moria Hotel outside Oslo, where the Taliban delegation was led by Foreign Minister Amir Khan Mottaki.
He praised the fact that the talks were a success in itself.
Speaking to the media, the Afghan Foreign Minister said, "Norway giving us this opportunity is a success in itself because we are in the same place with the world."
"We are confident that these meetings will help Afghanistan's humanitarian, health and education sectors."
It should be noted that the three diplomats are holding talks with the Taliban in Oslo. The Taliban delegation is being led by Foreign Minister Amir Khan Mottaki.
The humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan has intensified since the Taliban came to power last year. International aid to Afghanistan has been cut off, and the United States has frozen its assets.
The US Special Representative for Afghanistan, Thomas West, said in a tweet yesterday that "as we work with allies, partners and aid agencies to address the humanitarian crisis, we are committed to strengthening our concerns with the Taliban." We will continue to pursue clear diplomacy in respect of our rights and our enduring interests in multilateral Afghanistan. "
No country has yet recognized the Taliban government, which hopes such meetings will help legitimize their government.
Norway's foreign minister has also stressed that the talks are not about recognizing or legitimizing the Taliban, but because of the humanitarian emergency, we should talk to the country's real rulers.
On the other hand, experts and Afghans have criticized Norway for inviting the Taliban and there have been protests outside the Foreign Ministry in the capital.
