The conference is scheduled for Sunday and Monday in the Qatari capital of Doha.

A series of issues including sanctions on Afghanistan, restrictions on financial activities and the banking system, and details about the Doha meeting were discussed at a foreign ministry meeting on Tuesday, a spokesman of the administration's foreign ministry, Abdul Qahar Balkhi, said on its X account.

It marks the first time the caretaker government will participate in the UN-led meeting. The government was not invited to the first meeting last May and rejected the second in February.
