Russia has announced that it will not attend the swearing-in ceremony of Afghanistan’s new interim government.
Recently, the Taliban announced the interim government of Afghanistan, according to which Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund will be the caretaker Prime Minister of Afghanistan, while Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar and Maulvi Abdul Salam Hanafi will be the Deputy Prime Ministers.
Then came the news that the new Afghan government would be sworn in on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
In this regard, the speaker of the Russian upper house had said earlier this week that diplomatic officials would attend the swearing-in ceremony in Afghanistan.
However, Russia has now announced that it will not attend the inauguration of the new interim government.
Russia will not attend the swearing-in ceremony of the new interim government in Afghanistan, according to a spokesman for the Kremlin.
In addition, on the situation in Afghanistan, the United Nations has warned that in the next few months, the entire population of Afghanistan could fall into poverty.
According to the statement, about 40 million people in Afghanistan are in need of humanitarian assistance.
