RIYADH: Saudi and US officials held discussions on the situation in Afghanistan on Wednesday as the Taliban settled in as rulers of the Asian nation.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan was in a call with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to review the latest developments from Afghanistan.

The pair also discussed the strategic relationship between the Kingdom and the US.

Kabul was seized by the Taliban on Sunday after a blitz across the nation saw the national army surrender to the militants and the president, Ashraf Ghani, flee for safety.
