At the same time as the third Doha meeting on Afghanistan with the presence of Taliban representatives is approaching, the US special representative for Afghan women’s affairs says that he has discussed with the representatives of several countries about the meaningful participation of Afghan women and civil society in the third Doha meeting.

Rina Amiri, the US special representative for Afghan women’s affairs, said on Tuesday (4 Jun) that in her meeting with the representatives of the United Arab Emirates, Belgium, Qatar, France and Canada, the meaningful participation of Afghan women and civil society in the third Doha meeting has emphasised.
