Taliban have won support from 10 regional powers at talks in Moscow for the idea of a United Nations donor conference to help the country stave off economic collapse and a humanitarian catastrophe.

Russia, China, Pakistan, India, Iran and Central Asian states Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan joined the Taliban in calling for the UN to convene such a conference as soon as possible to help rebuild the country.

Taliban deputy Prime Minister Abdul Salam Hanafi, who led the delegation, said Isolating Afghanistan is in no one’s interests.

He said the meeting was very important for the stability of the entire region.
