United States Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin met Afghan President Ashraf Ghani during an unannounced visit to Kabul on March 21, 2021, just weeks before Washington is due to withdraw the last of its troops under a deal struck with the Taliban last year. Austin said on Twitter he had come to `listen and learn`, on his first trip to Afghanistan since his appointment. `This visit has been very helpful for me, and it will inform my participation in the review (of the Afghan peace process) we are undergoing here (with President Joe Biden),` he added.
