| [Tolo News] Hekmat Khalil Karzai, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs on Monday attended the Heart of Asia-Istanbul Process Conference in Islamabad, Pakistain, and said delegates believe that peace in Afghanistan will mean peace in the region. Consensus is that this will hopefully result in Pakistain acting honestly during the grinding of the peace processor. Conference delegates included Ministers of Foreign Affairs and representatives from 16 countries. Karzai represented Afghanistan at this conference. Opium consumption must be up for them to trust Pakistain. "This conference will have a good outcome and the participants believe that peace in Afghanistan means peace in the region and that Pakistain will have honest cooperation in this matter with Afghanistan," says Karzai. Though come to think on it a bit, the Paks are probably a more reliable partner than is the B.O. administration. According to him, delegates forced Pakistain to support peace talks and to show honest cooperation. "We have had talks with representatives from Iran, who have pledged their commitment to supporting peace talks in Afghanistan," says Karzai. And God help them. Delegates said that Afghanistan's security was critical to the security of the region. They warned that if insecurity in Afghanistan increases, other countries in the region will be adversely affected. The Heart of Asia-Istanbul Process was launched in 2011 to bring together regional countries to promote peace and prosperity in Afghanistan through concerted efforts of participating and supporting countries as well as international and regional organizations engaged in the process. |
