Zamir Kabulov, Russia's envoy for Afghanistan, has announced that a meeting under the supervision of the United Nations on Afghanistan may take place in the second half of January.

Kabulov told TASS news agency that in this meeting, representatives from different countries will talk about Afghanistan.

In May, the United Nations convened a meeting with the participation of special representatives from various countries to discuss Afghanistan. Antonio Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, had announced during the meeting that another gathering focusing on Afghanistan would be hosted in the future.

TASS news agency quoted Zamir Kabulov as stating that Moscow's format on Afghanistan will be held in the fall of 2024.

The Moscow format was established in 2017 as a six-party consultative mechanism involving the special representatives of Russia, Afghanistan, India, Iran, China, and Pakistan.

The main objective of this programme is to “facilitate the national reconciliation process in Afghanistan and secure peace in that country”.
