"We look forward to the next steps of the UN-led Doha Process and action plan, the Mosaic approach, to address Afghanistan's multifaceted challenges comprehensively, with well-defined objectives and a realistic roadmap as the only viable pathway for normalization. Pakistan and Afghanistan are immediate neighbors having historical relations and fraternal bonds with civilizational links. Peace and stability in Afghanistan is in Pakistans national interest. Lasting peace and prosperity would require the Taliban to demonstrate responsible behavior and fulfill its international obligations to be seen as reliable partner in the region and for the wider international community.Our national statement during the UN Security Council Meeting on the situation in Afghanistan (September 16)"
In recent discussions regarding the future of Afghanistan, Pakistan has reiterated its commitment to the UN-led Doha Process, highlighting the importance of a constructive and actionable pathway to stability. The Mosaic approach, a framework designed to tackle the multifaceted challenges facing Afghanistan, offers a realistic roadmap that seeks to redefine relations in the region. Pakistan views its historical and civilizational ties with Afghanistan as pivotal for cooperation and stability.
The need for a comprehensive strategy is underscored by the current volatility in Afghanistan, which has ramifications extending to Pakistan as an immediate neighbor. As outlined in Pakistan's national stance during the UN Security Council Meeting on September 16, the ultimate goal remains to foster an environment where peace and prosperity can thrive. This necessitates the Taliban demonstrating responsible governance and fulfilling its international obligations. By aligning with these global standards, the Taliban could emerge as a reliable partner for both regional stakeholders and the wider international community.
The international community recognizes Pakistan's strategic position, as stability in Afghanistan directly correlates with the region's peace. Many nations have expressed support for the Doha Process, acknowledging that a collaborative effort is critical for lasting resolution. Countries in the region are increasingly involved in dialogues, aiming to generate a cooperative framework that addresses pressing humanitarian and security issues while promoting economic development.
The next steps for the Doha Process are vital. There is cautious optimism surrounding the prospects for normalization in Afghanistan, contingent upon the actions of the Taliban and regional actors. Pakistan continues to advocate for a transparent and cooperative approach, emphasizing that achieving lasting peace will require collective responsibility and commitment from all parties involved. The future trajectory will depend on constructive engagement, both within Afghanistan and in the broader regional context.
