Afghanistan has refused to send high-level representatives to the thirteenth Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) summit, which is being hosted by Pakistan this year. According to TOLOnews, neither President of Afghanistan Ashraf Ghani nor the country’s chief executive officer Abdullah Abdullah will be attending the event.
One of the leaders of the National Unity Government (NUG) or Foreign Minister Salahuddin Rabbani was earlier expected to attend the summit, but the recent rise in tensions between the two countries has led to a change of heart. Afghan ambassador to Pakistan, Omar Zakhilwal, is still, however, expected to participate.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
