UN special envoy to Afghanistan Francis Vendrell has ruled out participation of India, Pakistan, Russia and Iran in a multi-national force being proposed for deployment in the war-torn country.
"I do not think the UN Security Council and the Secretary General would find them acceptable to be in the force," he told a media briefing here on Thursday.

Traditionally, the countries which do not have national interest are preferred in such a situation, he said.
The proposed force would mostly be made up of US and European nations, Vendrell said.
Pakistan foreign Office spokesman Aziz Mohammad Khan dismissed Vendrell's remarks saying it could be his personal view and the issue has not yet been discussed by UN Security Council. Bureau Report
