Afghanistan Peace CampaignAccording to some political analysts, the presence of the representative of the Islamic Emirate is beneficial for taking a stand in such meetings.
The President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, said that Afghanistan is critical to stability in the region.
Speaking at the First Summit of the United Nations Special Programme for the Economies of Central Asia, Mirziyoyev said that a positive outcome cannot be achieved without engaging the current Afghan government in international dialogue.
“For certain reasons, today’s meeting is taking place without the participation of representatives from Afghanistan, even though this country is an integral part of Central Asia and is critical to regional stability. I urge my esteemed colleagues, the leadership of UNECE and ESCAP to establish working relations and restore cooperation with Afghanistan as part of the SPECA Program. We cannot afford to leave this country alone with its problems. A positive outcome cannot be achieved without engaging the current Government in international dialogue,” the President of Uzbekistan said.
“Afghanistan is without a doubt the key to regional stability, but Afghanistan itself needs stability, and the key to Afghanistan’s stability is to consider people’s freedoms and ethnic participation in power,” said Sayed Javad Sajadi, a political analyst.
According to some political analysts, the presence of the representative of the Islamic Emirate is beneficial for taking a stand in such meetings.
“If there is a representative of Afghanistan in such meetings, it is natural that he will reflect the positions of the Afghan people there, he will reflect the wishes of the Afghan people, and it is natural that he will answer the questions about Afghanistan, and this is very important for the people of Afghanistan,” Khalil Ahmad Nadim, a political analyst told TOLOnews.
“Any opponent and any enemy can accuse Afghanistan there if Afghan diplomats are not present at world meetings,” Wahid Faqiri, a political analyst, told TOLOnews.
Afghanistan was admitted as a member of the United Nations Special Programme for Economies of Central Asia (SPECA) in May 2005.
