This appears to be the best list so far of the Taliban's 33-member interim setup: *Mostly Pashtuns, 2 Tajiks, 1 Uzbek. Majority facing UN sanctions. Sirajuddin Haqqani has a $5-mn US bounty on his head.
*UN Security Council to meet on Sept 21 to consider extension of travel exemptions for 15 leaders, incl Baradar. If not extended, can't travel abroad.

It appears the 6 countries that will be at inauguration/announcement/whatever of new Taliban government are Turkey, China, Russia, Iran, Qatar & Pakistan. Interesting: Saudi Arabia & UAE, which along with Pakistan were only 3 nations to recognise last Taliban regime, don't appear to have scored an invite.

India's envoy to China @VikramMisri has done an interview with PTI. Some quick takeaways & new points:
* "India hopes China will realise its responsibility in de-escalation and disengaging by moving back to its side of LAC" * Only way to resolve military standoff along LAC is for China to stop erecting new structures.
* China has to stop the practice of transgressing and trying to erect structures on the Indian side of the LAC

A lot of Indian journos were perplexed when @POTUS referred, at his news conference this evening, to a businessman named Patel who planned to set up a steel plant in Alabama. Mainly because there's no one big named Patel in the steel sector. Well turns out @POTUS meant Lakshmi Mittal, the CEO of @ArcelorMittal, once ranked the 3rd richest person in the world, whom he'd met at a business event earlier in the day.
