Moscow Consultative Meeting Will Focus on National Reconciliation in Afghanistan
Maria Zakharova, Russian foreign ministry spokesperson, said that the Moscow Meeting will discuss socio-political, economic, and humanitarian situation of Afghanistan. Zakharova added that the meeting will also focus on regional security and national reconciliation efforts.
The spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry stressed that at the end of this meeting, a joint statement will be issued by the representatives of the participating countries.
Representatives of Russia, China, India, Iran, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan will participate in the upcoming meeting.
Moscow's consultative meeting on Afghanistan will be held on Wednesday, November 16.
According to Zakharova, the Wednesday meeting will be the fourth meeting of Moscow consultations on Afghanistan.
Even though Taliban representatives were present in this meeting last year, they will be absent in the upcoming meeting. In 2021, the participants in Moscow meeting urged the Taliban to form an inclusive government in Afghanistan.
Although the Taliban claim that they have formed an inclusive government, the international community, including Russia, which is hosting the meeting on Afghanistan, has criticised the group for ignoring the international demands.
