Pakistan termed biggest stakeholder in post-2014 Afghanistan

[Dance]

ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan is the biggest stakeholder on the issue of post-2014 Afghanistan – which is when US and Nato forces plan to exit – and the future of the region should be chalaked out with Pakistan’s engagement.

A representative parliamentary delegation comprising all political parties apprised British leaders, parliamentary leaders and opinion makers in the UK of this, said a statement issued by Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed.

The two sides discussed the perspective and concerns of Pakistan about the end-game in Afghanistan and on the planned exit of the US and Nato forces from Afghanistan in 2014 and its impact on the region.

It was underlined that Pakistan was the biggest stakeholder on the issue of post-2014 Afghanistan, hosting 2.5 million refugees, having suffered and sacrificed the most after 9/11 with over 40,000 losses of lives of civilians and soldiers.

“The Afghan reconciliation process requires Pakistan’s proactive participation, and its interests were in a stable, united and peaceful Afghanistan,” the statement added.

The study visit to UK has been centred on national security and the role of parliament and political parties in influencing and scrutinising strategies.

The delegates highlighted that as Nato and the US plan a withdrawal from Afghanistan, the security, political and economic future balance of the region must be carefully planned with Pakistan’s engagement.

Pakistan’s changing dynamics as a vibrant and free Muslim democracy with its independent media, independent judiciary, and civil society groups must be kept in view, while recognising that Pakistan is positioning itself for the post-2014 realities of the region, they said.
T
he group also held a conversation with the Labour Party on the role it has played in the formulation of policies on national security. The delegation was joined by John Spellar, shadow minister for foreign and commonwealth office, Russell Brown, shadow minister for defence and Jo Greening.
The delegation called on Home Secretary Theresa May to discuss the role of interior security and national security and raised questions relating to Pak-UK cooperation on the capacity building of law enforcement agencies and intelligence sharing.

MP David Miliband spoke to the Pakistan delegation on the role of cross-party cooperation on national security.

pakistan should kick all afghans, mine the pak afghan border and let iranians or central asians take care of them, we had enough of it already!!

we need to maximize our security situation which is not possible living side by side the afghanis

That could only have been done if we didn't have a corrupt and inefficient government.

Only Afghans are stake holder of Afghanistan..that too 100%

Yes you're correct but since we have 2.5 million refugees and millions of registered ones, we also have a big say.

Eventually it will be a full circle after departure of NATO/ISAF
Pakistan will be pulling all the strings in Afghanistan as it used to...

It will be a Historic error of Judgement. Pakistan simply cannot be made the biggest stake holder in Afghanistan. Pakistan can be never that Positive influence on Afghan society at the moment or in foreseeable future. This is at best a rant and it's not Politically motivated. I am just trying to see what's best for the Afghanistan in coming decade outside of India perspective.

1. The only thing the connects Pakistan to Afghan's journey through the Progress is the geography. Afghanistan is Landlocked and A large chuck of what it considers its own territory historically is under Pakistani control(KPK Province). With this comes across the Duran line, Pakistani influence on Afghanistan and it's society in the FUTURE.

2. Pakistan can NOT support Afghanistan Economically, Technologically or help in developing its Human Resources.

3. There's historic animosity between Kabul and Islamabad and Pakistan tried to have influence in Afghanistan without regard to the method it employed for the same and used Afghan "Human Resources" for it's endeavours in the region with respect to India(Kashmir). It's known fact. This wasn't exactly maximising the welfare and well being of Afghanistan in the long run.

4. Pakistan is either incapable or unwilling to deal with Jihadi complex in Pakistan, which will NOT be a Positive thing to Afghanistan in its reconstruction given geography, Porus border and raising tide of unemployed Youth in Pakistan.

Ideally, Afghanistan needs isolation from Pakistan for at least a decade and needs to come up with a deal with respect to open Durand Line which has repercussions on the security of Afghanistan. Only relationship should be the Trade routes from Pakistan.

we arnt indians,we have been bearing back stabbing afghans since long time now

 

[Dance]

So?

They still reside in our country, show no signs of going back, and more keep coming.

As long as they, and Afghanistan itself, continue to affect Pakistan and its society/economy, we have a big stake hold.

Are you talking about the ones who are in Karachi or KPK. Becasue KPK is clearly Pashtun Homeland. They cannot be refugees in their own land. in fact Durand line validity is disputed. If you are going to use the refugee card, you will probably lose.

excuse me? but in this way the illegal bengladeshis are also in their bengali homeland in west bengal, dont you ever point out those bengalis as illegal bengalis again

durand line is an international border and there are more pashtuns in pakistan then in afghanistan, pakistan claims and has been granded soverignty according to UN to exercise full rights within its borders, anything even pashtuni afghans try to violate that soverignty will be prosecuted according to pakistan laws for violating our borders
