MOSCOW - Russia has sent an invitation to the leadership of the High Council for National Reconciliation (HCNR) to attend a Moscow Peace Summit.
The HCNR says it has received the invitation and its leadership is consulting on this.
“The leadership of the government, some political leaders, the leaders of the Taliban, and some countries in the region and the US have also been invited to the meeting,” HCNR spokesman Faraidoon Khawzon wrote on Twitter.
This coincides with a push by Washington to accelerate the peace process.
Currently US peace envoy Zalmay Khalilzad is on a regional tour where he has presented the new US plan – which involves the establishment of a transitional government. (ATN)
