KABUL: A delegation of the United Nation's Security Council arrived in Kabul on Monday to push for regional cooperation as it takes stock of the situation on the ground in Afghanistan, the United Nations said in a statement.
Among the 15-member delegation is Zalmay Khalilzad, the Afghan-born U.S. ambassador to the U.N. who is often mentioned as a possible candidate in next year's presidential elections in Afghanistan.
Khalilzad, who served as U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan following the 2001 U.S. invasion, has said he does not plan to run.
The delegation will "underscore the importance of regional cooperation for governance, security, and development," a U.N. statement said. It will have three days of meetings with top Afghan and international officials.
"An additional aim of their trip is to underline the role of the United Nations in promoting peace and stability," the statement said.
