The United States and 97 other countries said that they would continue to take in people fleeing Afghanistan after the American military departs next week.
The statement did not warn of any consequences should the Taliban renege on the agreement, although a senior State Department official said it was meant to convey an implicit message about incentives — namely, foreign aid to the government — that the international community would use to enforce it.
