TASHKENT. July 1 (Interfax) - An international conference on Afghanistan will take place in Uzbekistan on July 25-26, with the participation of delegates from over 20 countries and international organizations, the Uzbek Foreign Ministry said on Friday.

"The key goal of the event is to elaborate a package of measures and proposals regarding the international community's stance on the assistance to stability, security and post-conflict recovery of Afghanistan and its integration into regional cooperation processes to the benefit of multiethnic people of Afghanistan and the world at large," the ministry's press service said.
