U.S. Warns Participants of Moscow Meeting About the Taliban<\/h2>\n

The U.S. Department of State has cautioned participant nations of the eighth round of the “Moscow Format” consultations against collaborating with the Taliban government, urging them to avoid decisions that could empower the group.<\/p>\n

This warning follows the invitation extended to Amir Khan Motiqi, acting foreign minister of the Taliban, to attend the meeting. A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State emphasized that the Taliban is considered one of the international terrorist groups, highlighting the need for regional and global caution in their engagements.<\/p>\n

Topics of Discussion at the Moscow Meeting<\/h2>\n

The eighth round of the “Moscow Format” consultations commenced today, October 5, featuring representatives from Afghanistan, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, China, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Delegations from Belarus and Egypt have also been invited as guests to this gathering.<\/p>\n

According to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the main focus of discussions will be on enhancing political and economic cooperation between Kabul and the regional countries, alongside joint efforts in combatting terrorism and drug trafficking.<\/p>\n

Washington’s Response to Afghanistan’s Neighbors<\/h2>\n
