Australia says it will shut its embassy in Afghanistan's capital Kabul on Friday, as the withdrawal of international troops proceeds.
In a statement, Canberra talked of an increasingly uncertain security environment in the country, adding that Australian diplomats would visit Afghanistan regularly but would be based elsewhere in the region.
There are fears that the withdrawal of the US-led Nato force could plunge Afghanistan back into a full-scale war.
It was reported that, in April, US President Joe Biden said American troops would leave by the 11th of September, after 20 years of military involvement in Afghanistan.
