According to AFP, the conversation between the foreign ministers of the veto-wielding countries and Antonio Guterres lasted more than an hour.
According to the report, Anthony Blinken, Sergei Lavrov, Jean-Yves Lodrian, US, Russian, French and British Foreign Ministers Liz Terrace and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the conference by video conference.
Antonio Guterres told reporters that the powers (the United States, China, Russia, France and Britain) wanted “a stable and peaceful Afghanistan; “A country where it is possible to distribute humanitarian aid without any problems or discrimination.”
“According to the UN Secretary-General, the permanent members of the UN Security Council seek to respect the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan and that Afghanistan is not a haven for terrorism and has an inclusive government that represents all segments of the population.”
