West is on a trip to Europe and Asia to discuss the way forward on Afghanistan with America’s allies and partners. Before leaving on his trip, West said the international community must act together to be effective.
West was last month named as the State Department’s Special Representative and Deputy Assistant Secretary for Afghanistan. He replaced Zalmay Khalilzad who brokered the peace deal between the US and the Taliban.
