The Taliban is not ready to attend the Turkey conference on the expected date, April 16, given their consultations on the details of the event, spokesman Mohammad Naeem said. 

He said the Taliban is reviewing the details of the Turkey conference agenda shared with them by the United States. 

Lawmakers in the Wolesi Jirga, the lower house of the Afghan Parliament, said that the delegation that is expected to attend the Turkey conference should be inclusive and that it should defend Afghans’ interests and the gains of the last two decades.

The choice of delegation members has created tension among lawmakers who went into details on the issue during their Monday session.
