The United Nations announced that the third Doha meeting with the participation of special representatives of countries for Afghanistan will be held on June 30 and July 1.
The UN said that the purpose of this meeting is to increase international engagement with Afghanistan in a coherent and structured manner.
On Tuesday, the UN provided details about Rosemary DiCarlo, the UN Under-Secretary-General's meeting with senior Taliban officials.
DiCarlo met with Taliban officials and some Afghan figures, including Hamid Karzai, the former president of Afghanistan, in Kabul between May 18 and 21. During this trip, DiCarlo invited Amir Khan Muttaqi, the Taliban's foreign minister, to participate in the third Doha meeting.
The United Nations stated that DiCarlo also met with a number of Afghan civil society activists during her visit to Kabul.
Abdul Kabir, the Taliban's Deputy Prime Minister for Political Affairs, conditioned participation in the third Doha meeting on the acceptance of the group's stance.
Abdul Kabir told DiCarlo this week that Afghanistan is under the complete control of the Taliban and that the country "has one emir who is obeyed”.
In a statement, the UN said that Afghan figures told the UN Under-Secretary-General that any strategy for international engagement with Afghanistan must address the humanitarian, developmental, and economic challenges facing Afghanistan.
The statement adds that they also pointed to the dangers and threats posed by drugs and terrorist groups.
The Under-Secretary-General discussed the human rights situation in Afghanistan, particularly the restrictions on women's education, with the Taliban and Afghan figures in Kabul.
