This is good, this further confirms that Pakistan once again is taking to the stage and we are more actively involved in the Afghan process now. There are two factors that have contributed to this, Pakistan army's successful operations against TTP and the fact that state seems to have pushed itself to its limits on this one. Their patience is running out, they need to get out of Afghanistan and the only way they can do is if they forge a reconciliation between taliban and the Afghan government, this is good for Pakistan because now it can effectively cut out Indian influence within Afghanistan and put an end to their little proxy war. In order to maintain peace in Afghanistan, the current Afghani establishment will have to form a working relationship with taliban, and thats an oppurtunity Pakistan must utlize to the maximum
There are two things Pakistan needs to get out of this,
First, put an absolute end to India's proxy war by getting rid of the proxies, the Afghan intelligence for instance needs to be headed by a man who Pakistan has confidence in and is reliable, pakistan should actively get involved in training Afghan forces minimizing the presence of India's paramilitary forces withing that region
Second, Pakistan needs to pursue effective diplomacy with other muslim nations regarding building the infrastructre within Afghanistan, this is very important..the thing india has going for it is money, they are putting money into Afghanistan where no one else would..Pakistan can only contribute so much aid to Afghans having its own economy gone through hell and back these past few years. So an effective solution to this is convincing other muslim countries in bringing aid and infrastructre. This would be Ideal for the arabs because they would gain an effective foothold within Afghanistan against Iran.
Lot of things need to be done, the stage has been set once again, we are back in the 70's we have just fought of a proxy war, the Americans just like the russians are packing up..but this time we need to make sure we dont make the same mistakes as we did last time, an stable Afghanistan is vital for Pakistan but a stable Afghanistan cannot be so without Pakistan...Indians can pour tons of aid, but only Pakistan can bring peace..the Afghan "people" need to realise this ground reality
