A Taliban delegation has traveled to Qatar to participate in two working group meetings under the Doha Process, Taliban confirmed Sunday.
According to a statement from Taliban-run Ministry of Public Health, the seven-member delegation includes Taliban officials from three ministries: Enamullah Ammar, Taliban director of the National Drug Treatment Program at the Ministry of Public Health; Hedayatullah Oria Khel, Taliban senior adviser at the ministry’s health service delivery division; and Taliban representatives from the ministries of foreign affairs and agriculture.
The meetings are scheduled to take place on Monday and Tuesday in Doha. The Qatari government has confirmed that the third working group meeting on counter-narcotics and the second working group meeting on the private sector will be held during this round.
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) welcomed the meetings as “a positive development,” stating that such dialogues could facilitate multilateral engagement between Afghanistan and the international community.
