Russia plans to hold a conference on Afghanistan in Moscow later this month, the TASS news agency said on Tuesday, but the US State Department did not confirm American attendance. The TASS report comes after the United States shared with Afghan officials, Taliban leaders and others a draft peace plan calling for replacing the government with a power-sharing interim administration pending elections under a new constitution. TASS said the Russian Foreign Ministry planned to hold the conference on Afghanistan on March 18, but gave no further details.
