AFGHANISTAN
I have a statement on the attack that took place in Afghanistan today.
The Secretary-General strongly condemns today’s attack inside a mosque during Friday prayers in Nangarhar province, eastern Afghanistan, which resulted in scores of civilians killed and dozens more injured, including children. Those responsible for this attack must be held to account.
The Secretary-General extends his deepest sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims and wishes a speedy recovery to those injured. He reiterates the solidarity of the United Nations with the people and Government of Afghanistan.

SECRETARY-GENERAL’S TRAVELS
On Saturday, the Secretary-General will be in Washington, D.C. to attend the annual meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
He will participate in the Small States Forum, the meeting of the International Monetary and Financial Committee and a meeting of the Finance Ministers Coalition on Climate Finance. The Secretary-General will be in Washington just for a few hours and be back Saturday evening in New York.
