On the Afghan track, a special mission objectively belongs to the neighboring countries - Meredov
Turkmenistan is convinced that it is necessary to establish and maintain a dialogue with Afghanistan. The criteria should be mutual respect and equality. A clear and precise strategy is needed to assist in economic recovery and solve the humanitarian problems of this country, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan Rashid Meredov said at the international conference "Promoting Peace: Implementing strategies to strengthen trust between countries" in Ashgabat, April 11.
Turkmenistan has been implementing its approaches for many years, providing economic support to Afghanistan, implementing major infrastructure projects with its participation, building social facilities, and sending humanitarian convoys on a regular basis.
As for the political settlement in Afghanistan, today there are several international platforms and formats that Turkmenistan generally supports.
"But we are also convinced that on the Afghan track, a special mission objectively belongs to the neighboring countries of Afghanistan, given their geographical proximity to Afghanistan, historical ties and cultural proximity," Meredov said. - We believe that neighboring states need a unified inclusive approach to the Afghan problem based on a strategic vision. Achieving sustainable peace, stability, and dynamic development in Afghanistan today should be a priority goal of the international community in the region."
