Iran is going to host a conference on peace and security of Afghanistan, involving various Afghan parties.
The conference, entitled ‘Afghanistan, Peace and Sustainable Security’ will get under way in Tehran on Monday, July 19, under the auspices of the World Assembly of Islamic Awakening.
The secretary-general of the assembly, Ali Akbar Velayati, will deliver a speech at the upcoming conference, which will be participated by various Afghan and international groups and parties with a role in the process of peace in Afghanistan.
Last week, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs played host to a round of intra-Afghan negotiations involving representatives of the Kabul government and the Taliban.
The gathering was attended by the representative of the Afghan government, the top figures supporting the Republic system in Afghanistan, and a high-ranking political delegation of the Taliban.
The two-day intra-Afghan talks ended on July 8 with a 6-clause statement. The parties attending the talks acknowledged the threats of prolonged war in Afghanistan and the consequent damages to their country.
They also agreed in the statement that war is not a solution to the problems of Afghanistan and called for collective efforts to achieve a political and peaceful solution.
