The Deputy Spokesman of the Secretary General of the United Nations stated that the purpose of Jean-Pierre Lacroix’s visit to Afghanistan was to raise awareness about the dangers of unexploded ordnance.
According to Afghan media reports, another purpose of this UN official’s trip to Afghanistan is to discuss the third Doha meeting, which is scheduled to be held in June this year with Taliban officials.

On February 18-19, 2024, the United Nations Secretary General held the second Afghanistan conference in Doha, Qatar. Representatives from 25 countries, international organizations, Afghan civil society and women’s groups participated with the aim of efforts for inclusive peace.
In May 2023, the United Nations held the first Afghanistan conference without the participation of the Taliban in Doha. Despite the invitation of the Taliban for the second conference, they rejected this offer and demanded to hand over the seat of the UN representative, which the Secretary General considered unacceptable.
