The spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General says that the process of appointing a special representative for Afghanistan is underway.
Responding to questions about the timing of appointing a UN special representative for Afghanistan, if progress is made in this regard, information will be provided.
During a press briefing the UN spokesperson stated that there is no specific timeline for the appointment of the UN special representative for Afghanistan.
The United Nations has been deliberating for months on the appointment of a special representative for Afghanistan.
The ruling Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan opposes the appointment of a new special representative for Afghanistan and believes that with the presence of UNAMA, this is an unnecessary move.
Many other countries, including Russia and Iran, also align with the Taliban government in opposing the appointment of a new UN special representative for Afghanistan.
In the second Doha meeting, attended by special envoys of countries and followed by a meeting of the UN Security Council where the appointment of a special representative for Afghanistan was a major part of their agenda, efforts did not yield results. It is unclear exactly when the parties reached consensus on this decision.
