The meet will be a briefing so it will be open for the public to see. The meet comes ahead of Troika plus meet on Afghanistan which includes the US, Russia, China, and Pakistan. A routine meeting of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan UNAMA will take place next month. 

Earlier, under India’s Presidency, the UNSC had issued a press statement condemning the attack in the United Nations compound in Herat on July 30 that killed an Afghan security forces guard. 

In a strongly worded release, the statement said, “Members of the security council expressed their deep concern about the high levels of violence in Afghanistan following the Taliban’s military offensive and called for an immediate reduction of violence”

On Monday UNSC President, Indian envoy to UN T S Tirumurti said, “The situation in Afghanistan is of deep concern to all members of the security council. We have seen in recent days, violence is only increasing..and targetted killing has increased”. 

He made the comments at the customary presser by UNSC President on the first working day of the council. 

He said, “India has supported every opportunity that can bring peace, security, and stability in Afghanistan. We should address the question of violence and the targetted attacks”.

Taliban has increased offensive in many parts of the country including Herat, Kandahar, and Helmand. 

In a recent briefing to foreign envoys based in Kabul, he highlighted how the Taliban is being supported by international terror groups including Pakistan-based anti-India Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). 

Indian envoy Rudrendra Tandon was also present at the meet. A UN report has said that the number of casualties from May to June exceeds the number between January and April. Recently UN–United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan compound in Herat came under attack, something that was condemned by the International community.
