World urged to help Afghanistan
Tuesday, 31.03.2009, 07:38am (GMT)
The UN called the one-day conference amid widespread concern that not enough progress had been made since the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.
Support for Afghan reconstruction is being sought beyond the mainly Western countries which have troops there.
The US is hoping Iran, among others, will show a "constructive" approach.
Tehran is sending a deputy foreign minister, Mohammad Mehdi Akhoondzadeh, to the conference. bbc
