United States (US) assistant secretary of state for South and Central Asia Donald Lu on July 6 said that the United States said that it's too early to consider recognition and no foreign government is contemplating legitimacy for the new government in Afghanistan, reports Ariana News. “I think there’s actually a global consensus to include Moscow and Beijing and Iran, that it’s too early to look at recognition,” Donald Lu, U.S. assistant secretary of state for South and Central Asia, said, in an interview.“Yes, some countries are beginning a very slow process of normalization of relations. No one is talking about formal recognition,” Lu said.
