Afghanistan Envoy Isaczai to Address UNGA Monday Despite Taliban Letter - UN Spokesman

UNITED NATIONS (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 25th September, 2021) Afghanistan Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ghulam Isaczai, appointed by toppled President Ashraf Ghani, is set to address the UN General Assembly on Monday, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said on Friday.
