The fifth round of the Vienna Conference for a “Free and Democratic Afghanistan” is set to convene on Tuesday and Wednesday next week in the Austrian capital.
The Vienna Process will bring together dozens of political groups, politicians, and civil society activists to discuss Afghanistan’s future.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Vienna Process announced that participants will focus on Afghanistan’s post-Taliban future and explore political alternatives.
According to the statement, more than 50 major political groups and a number of prominent Afghan figures are expected to attend the conference.
The fourth Vienna Conference took place on 24 June 2024. Organisers have stated that the upcoming session will prioritise political unity among political, civil, and military groups.
Since the fall of the previous Afghan government, the Vienna Process has emerged as the most significant platform for bringing together political and military groups opposed to the Taliban.
The statement further emphasised that the fifth conference will be held in an open political space, allowing participants to transparently discuss viable solutions to overcome the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan.
