Taliban Unlikely To Participate In UN General Assembly: Report

A week ago, the currently accredited Afghan ambassador had written to the UN chief stating that he and other members of his team, still occupying the Afghan mission at the United Nations, will represent Afghanistan in UNGA.
The Taliban, which now rule Afghanistan after overthrowing the elected-government of President Ashraf Ghani, are unlikely to represent their country at the high-level United Nations General Assembly session as representatives of the ousted dispensation still occupy the office at the UN, a Pakistani media report said on Thursday.
Afghanistan is scheduled to address the ongoing UN General Assembly session on September 27.
On September 20, the Taliban-controlled Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a letter to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, requesting him to participate in the 76th UNGA session in New York.
It was signed by Taliban leader Ameer Khan Muttaqi as the new Afghan foreign minister.
