'Russia will host a conference on March 18 to advance the peace process in Afghanistan featuring high-level delegations representing the Taliban and Afghan government as well the United States, Pakistan, and China.
..
The United States is shifting focus to meetings among key regional countries aimed at pushing Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, Taliban insurgents, and other Afghan political leaders to form an interim government.
The Taliban’s 10-member delegation to the Moscow talks will be led by Mullah Baradar, the group's deputy leader and chief negotiator at the talks in Qatar. The Afghan government side will be headed by former chief executive Abdullah Abdullah.
Pakistan will be represented by veteran diplomat Mohammed Sadiq, while the United States has sent longtime Afghan envoy Zalmay Khalilzad.
The Moscow gathering will be followed by a meeting of regional players next month in Turkey and a summit that Khalilzad has asked the United Nations to organize.
The Afghan government has said it would take part in the conference in Turkey, but the Taliban has not yet confirmed whether it would attend.
The United Nations, which is not participating in the Moscow talks, announced on March 17 that Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has nominated a new personal envoy, Jean Arnault of France, to work for peace in Afghanistan.
Arnault will work with Deborah Lyons, who is the world body's special envoy to Afghanistan. The Canadian is also the head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA).'
