Afghanistan under scrutiny at UN sponsored meet

---

UNITED NATIONS, Sept 23 (AFP): Eighteen countries meet here Sunday to review six years of efforts to spur reconstruction and good governance in Afghanistan at a time when the restive country is beset by a resurgent Taliban insurgency and soaring opium output.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai and UN chief Ban Ki-moon are co- hosting the three-hour high-level meeting, set to open at 10:00 am (1400 GMT), which comes two days before world leaders begin summit talks during the UN General Assembly session. The Afghan leader is due to address the assembly Monday.
