A political analyst Sayed Muqdam Amin said: "The meeting could be beneficial in case it brings a mechanism for stability in Afghanistan and recognition of Afghanistan and specifying the status of Afghanistan."
This comes as the Taliban said that meetings without the presence of its envoys would be meaningless.
Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said that the international community is trying to put political pressure on it.
"Unfortunately, the world has politicised all humanitarian, climate change and economic issues and they want to use all of the issues as a political tool, which is not right," he said, as per TOLO News.
In an earlier document accessed by TOLO News, the UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres recommended a roadmap for the reintegration of Afghanistan into the international community. (ANI)
