Vienna Meet on Afghanistan Enters Day Two with Participation of Western Representatives
The "Vienna Meeting for a Democratic Afghanistan" progressed into its second day on Monday in Austria's capital, drawing a diverse group of attendees.
Notably, the meeting saw the presence of representatives from Western nations, including the United States, Great Britain, Austria, Germany, Spain, and Norway, alongside Taliban opponents.
A key session of the day, titled "The Ways Ahead - Expanding and Strengthening Understanding and Cooperation among Democratic Forces," was scheduled for the morning. This panel invited all Vienna meeting participants to engage in critical discussions.
A significant agenda item was the subsequent panel set for 11:15 am, focusing on completing the development of a "roadmap."
Fawzia Kofi, a former Afghan Parliament member in attendance, conveyed to Afghanistan International their commitment to formulating a roadmap aimed at uniting political and civil groups against the Taliban.
The day was set to conclude with a final panel dedicated to the completion of the Vienna meeting's concluding declaration. Topics of discussion included envisioning the future, rallying democratic forces, and finalising the roadmap.
The meeting's first day was marked by critical evaluations of Taliban policies and calls for increased solidarity among anti-Taliban political groups. The Vienna meeting is slated to conclude on Tuesday.
