The presidential palace (ARG) on Sunday confirmed Kabul will attend Moscow talks on peace in Afghanistan, which are scheduled to start mid-month.
The Afghan delegation that will attend the conference will include high-ranking officials who will try to persuade the regional countries to help fight terrorism, said President Ashraf Ghani’s deputy spokesman Shahhussain Murtazawi.
The Moscow peace initiative is scheduled for April 14 and is expected to be attended by delegations from 12 countries including China, Pakistan, Iran, India and five central Asian nations.
