The European Commission will organize a special high-level forum in September to discuss the resettlement of needy Afghans, European Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson said.
"As part of the follow up to the EU Council today, I will convene, in September, a High-Level Resettlement Forum to discuss concrete priorities with the Member States and provide sustainable solutions to those Afghans who are most vulnerable, particularly women and children, but also human rights activists, journalists, lawyers," she wrote on Twitter.
"We will cooperate together with the other global leaders on a coordinated approach to safe and legal routes for resettlement," Johansson added.
