Ecuador will receive Afghan citizens, mainly women, in transit to the United States and displaced by the crisis in their country, where the Taliban regained power after being deposed in 2001, President Guillermo Lasso reported on Monday.

 The message was accompanied by a statement from the General Secretariat of Communication of the Presidency that indicates that Quito is willing to "collaborate with the safe departure of foreigners and native citizens of Afghanistan."
