Afghan Foreign Ministry spokesman Abdul Qahar Balkhi said on Sunday that the Taliban will participate in the third international meeting on Afghanistan under UN auspices scheduled for June 30 to July 1.

The first two Doha meetings, chaired by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and attended by special envoys on Afghanistan from various countries, were held in May 2023 and February 2024 without the presence of Taliban representatives.

"The agenda and participation list of the upcoming Doha meeting shared with the Islamic Emirate after two months of discussions with the UN, it was decided in principle to participate in the said meeting," Balkhi said on X.
