 Despite the Taliban's call for an interim government to take control of Afghanistan, the 76th session of the UN General Assembly is expected to be addressed by Ghulam Ishaqzai, a representative of Ashraf Ghani's former government.

According to the schedule of the 76th General Assembly of the United Nations, Afghanistan has to address on the last day of the meeting, today.

It may be recalled that the Interim Foreign Minister of Afghanistan, Amir Khan Mottaki, had written a letter to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on September 20, 2021, asking him to address the UN General Assembly.
