The issue of representation of the radical Taliban movement (banned in Russia) is complicated and should be solved in accordance with the UN rules, Russian deputy foreign minister Sergei Vershinin told reporters on Thursday.
"This issue is very complicated. The UN has its own rules that determine who represents a country in an official way. This issue has yet to be resolved," he said. - "The main issue that needs to be solved now is the question of coordination of coordinated actions of the international community with regard to the situation in Afghanistan, especially its humanitarian dimension."
On government formation in Afghanistan
Russia sees no need to impose on the Taliban a timetable for forming an inclusive government in Afghanistan, Vershinin said.
"I don't think it's necessary to set any deadlines. It's a universal requirement that you need an inclusive government, and there's a lot of talk about that. Such a government should reflect the political and ethnic forces that exist in Afghanistan and thereby make the overall situation more stable," he said.
On September 7, the radical Taliban movement (banned in Russia) that had taken power in Afghanistan announced the composition of the new government. Mullah Mohammad Hasan Akhund was named Prime Minister, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the leader of the political wing of radicals, and Mullah Abdul Salam Hanafi, the deputy head of the movement's political wing, were named his deputies. A Taliban spokesman noted that the current cabinet is only temporary.
