This important dialogue involving the participation of China, India, Iran, and Pakistan is going to be held on the 20th of this month.
According to the report of the news agency AFP, Russia's envoy to Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov gave this information in response to a question from Russian journalists on Thursday.
Zamir Kabulov was asked whether Russia is going to invite representatives of the radical organization Taliban to this Afghan talks? In response to this question, Kabulov said, "Yes."
However, the news agency Reuters reported that Zamir Kabulov did not elaborate on the Afghan talks to be held in Moscow.
At the same time, according to the Russian news agency TAAS, Zamir Kabulov admitted that Russia is going to invite the Taliban, but he did not say what level of representatives of the organization it is planning to include in the talks.
g20 conference
Before these talks in Moscow, a conference of G20 countries is going to be held on 12 October on the issue of Afghanistan.
In this conference, after the Taliban gains power, the country is to be discussed to save the country from human tragedy.
Earlier in March, Moscow has hosted another international conference on Afghanistan. Russia, America, China, and Pakistan participated in it.
In a joint statement issued after this conference, an appeal was made to the parties fighting in Afghanistan to reach a peace agreement and reduce violence.
Will Russia help Afghanistan?
In the same conference, the Taliban were appealed not to carry out any attacks from March to September. It was only after this that America started the process of withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan after 20 years.
On Wednesday, a senior UN official warned of progressing towards a humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.
In this connection, Zamir Kabulov was asked whether Russia would help Afghanistan?
So he said, "Russia will do it but no decision has been taken on how it will be done. It is being looked into."
Russia's sanctions on the Taliban continue
Russia has extended its hand of talks to the Taliban but has not yet recognized the Taliban's rule over Afghanistan.
The Taliban is still banned in Russia as an extremist organization.
On Monday, Zamir Kabulov said that UN sanctions against the Taliban regime would not be left out of the reconsideration process.
However, he also said that "we believe that at the moment it will not be practical to rush about it."
Russia has hosted the Taliban and its representatives several times in recent years.
'Moscow has taken a lesson
After the Taliban took control of Kabul in August, Russia kept its embassy open in Kabul when most Western countries were rushing to move their diplomats to Afghanistan and vacate the embassy.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has already criticized other countries' interference in Afghanistan's domestic affairs.
He said that Moscow had learned a lesson from the Soviet Union's attack on Afghanistan.
In the eighties, Russia fought a war in Afghanistan for about ten years, in which it had to suffer a lot.
Two lakh Afghans were killed in this war and 70 lakh people were rendered homeless. More than 14,000 soldiers of the Soviet Union were killed.
Political instability continues in Afghanistan
Putin also warned that taking advantage of the ongoing political instability in Afghanistan, members of extremist groups operating there could cross the border and seek refuge in other countries.
Russia has conducted military exercises with Tajikistan and Uzbekistan after the Taliban took over the reins of Afghanistan. It also has a military base in Tajikistan.
Both these countries share a border with Afghanistan.
Russia has also told that it has received new orders for weapons from these two countries of Central Asia.
However, the Taliban has made it clear from its side that the countries of Central Asia do not face any threat from it.
In this region, countries that were part of the Soviet Union have been targeted by Afghan extremists in the past.
From 1996 to 2001, the Taliban were in power in Afghanistan.
But after the September 11 attacks, the US ousted the Taliban from power by invading Afghanistan.
