The 12th Herat Security Conference will be held in three days in Madrid, Spain. This important event will gather international leaders and experts to discuss critical security issues affecting Afghanistan and the broader region.

The Afghanistan Institute for Strategic Studies has announced that the conference will take place on the 24th and 25th of February in Madrid. This marks a significant opportunity for global stakeholders to engage in discussions about Afghanistan’s future and its security challenges.

The theme of the conference is “Afghanistan: Reviving Hope; Synergetic Efforts.” This theme emphasizes the need for collaborative solutions to the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan, aiming to foster hope for a peaceful and stable future for the country.

According to a statement from the Afghanistan Institute for Strategic Studies, the world cannot view Afghanistan merely as a chronic crisis, nor can Afghanistan solely rely on the world for solutions. The statement highlights the importance of internal efforts alongside international support to address the nation’s challenges.

The 11th edition of the Herat Security Dialogue was held last year in Tajikistan. This year’s event in Madrid will continue the tradition of fostering international dialogue on Afghanistan’s future, with a focus on both security and development.

The security situation in Afghanistan remains a pressing concern, with ongoing violence, instability, and the threat of terrorist activities. The international community must prioritize collaborative approaches to address these challenges and support Afghanistan in building a more secure and prosperous future.
