Russia to send ambassadors to Afghan government inauguration - RIA

 Russia will be represented by ambassadors' level officials at the new Afghanistan's government inauguration, the RIA news agency quoted speaker of the Russian upper house of parliament, Valentina Matviyenko, as saying on Wednesday.

Foreign countries greeted the make-up of the new government in Afghanistan with caution and dismay on Wednesday after the Taliban appointed hardline veteran figures to top positions, including several with a US bounty on their head.
