The UN Security Council will hold a meeting on Afghanistan early next month, with the session scheduled for 23 June.

Roza Otunbayeva, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Afghanistan, is expected to brief the Council during the meeting.

Other speakers will include Sima Bahous, Executive Director of UN Women, and a senior official from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

According to the Security Council’s website, humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan will be one of the key topics on the agenda.
