Increased Afghan Insecurity Will Have Global Impact: Ghani
President Ashraf Ghani on Tuesday said that if the current opportunity for peace in Afghanistan turns out to be lost, and Afghanistan plunges toward an uncertain future, the consequences of such a scenario will cause severe harm to regional and global peace and stability.
“The peril, Mr. Prime Minister, lies in misunderstanding this moment—peace in Afghanistan is within grasp if parties and their backers in the Taliban embrace a true political solution, but Afghans will not submit to surrender. It must be understood that our heroic security forces are not defeated and neither have we lost our will or capacity for serving our people,” Ghani stated during a virtual meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
