The 40th meeting of the Afghanistan Working Group within the framework of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) was held in Moscow on Wednesday, December 11.
According to a statement from the Kazakh Foreign Ministry, the meeting was attended by representatives of the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, the Commonwealth of Independent States and other international organisations.
In the past three years, the organisation has always expressed concern about the activities of terrorist groups in Afghanistan, including ISIS, as well as the infiltration of extremists from Afghanistan into the territory of member states.
The Taliban has consistently denied the presence of terrorist groups in Afghanistan and have said that ISIS is not active in Afghanistan and cannot pose a threat to other countries.
However, ISIS continues to claim responsibility for deadly attacks in Afghanistan. In one of the most recent cases, ISIS-K claimed responsibility for an attack on Khalil-ur-Rahman Haqqani, the Taliban's minister of refugees. The Taliban minister was killed in a suicide attack on Wednesday, December 11.
