The Taliban Government says that without its participation, the United Nations-organised conference on Afghanistan in Doha would be ineffective. The Afghanistan government has not been invited to attend the two days meeting. Abdul Qahar Balkhi, the Taliban foreign ministry spokesperson, told a news channel that any meeting about Afghanistan without the participation of the Afghan government is ineffective and counterproductive.  <br />''<br />''Envoys from the United States, China and Russia, as well as major European aid donors and key neighbours such as Pakistan, are among the representatives from about 25 countries and groups called to the two days of closed-door talks by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in the Qatari capital on Monday. Last week, the UN Chief said that de facto Afghan rulers would not be invited to the meeting to discuss the dire humanitarian situation in the country and its international isolation.<br />
