Moscow Format Contact Group Meeting To Be Held In Tehran
Zamir Kabulov, the Russian President's special envoy for Afghanistan, has said that the Moscow Format Contact Group meeting on Afghanistan will be held on Saturday (June 8) in Tehran, the capital of Iran.
Kabulov stated that representatives from Russia, China, Iran, and Pakistan will participate in this meeting.
The Russian news agency, TASS, reported on Tuesday, quoting Kabulov, that Moscow Format’s Contact Group meeting on Afghanistan is scheduled to be held next Saturday in Tehran.
This media outlet wrote that the Russian President's special envoy for Afghanistan has also discussed preparations for the third Doha meeting with Taliban representatives.
The fifth regional meeting on Afghanistan, known as the 'Moscow Format,' was held in Kazan, Russia, in October 2023.
In this meeting, Iran proposed the formation of a regional contact group, which later faced a deadlock due to Pakistan's opposition.
In the fifth Moscow Format meeting on Afghanistan, Amir Khan Muttaqi, the Taliban's Foreign Minister, was present.
Representatives from several regional countries emphasised on combating terrorism and forming an inclusive government in Afghanistan.
