The Afghan National Security Advisor (NSA) Hamdullah Mohib said Saturday that Afghanistan will attend the Moscow and Istanbul peace conferences scheduled to take place in the next few weeks.
The Russia-backed Moscow summit is scheduled for March 18, while the US-backed peace conference will be held in Turkey in April.
Addressing a press conference on Saturday Mohib said that government will attend both the Moscow and Turkey meetings.
Mohib meanwhile said the Taliban has no intention of ushering in peace in Afghanistan and that “they spread fear among the people.”
This comes after Russia said Friday that it is in favor of the formation of an interim government in Afghanistan that includes Taliban representation.
