Zakir Jalali, an advisor to the Taliban's Foreign Ministry, revealed that currently, the group is engaging in discussions with UN officials and Western stakeholders about how its delegates will be represented at the upcoming Doha meeting.
Jalali highlighted the group's intention to secure "responsible representation" at international forums.
Ahead of the Doha meeting, the Taliban expressed opposition to the appointment of a new UN envoy for Afghanistan, advocating for a "meaningful" involvement of their delegates.
Jalali, on Wednesday, shared via the X social media platform that the Taliban is in favour of "meaningful" and continuous participation in dialogues with the United Nations, aiming for the initiation of "high-level and transparent" conversations between the two parties.
According to the Taliban's Foreign Ministry advisor, the Doha meeting presents a valuable chance, assuming proper management.
With the UN's Afghanistan-focused meeting in Qatar drawing near, Feridun Sinirlioğlu, the Special Coordinator for Afghanistan from the UN, has had two meetings with Amir Khan Muttaqi, the Foreign Minister of the Taliban.
Scheduled by the UN Secretary-General, this meeting anticipates attendance from representatives across 20 countries. Yet, specifics regarding the involvement of women and Taliban opponents remain unclear.
