Support to Istanbul Process

The international community will join hands to promote security and prosperity of Afghanistan and its neighboring countries

Since its inception in 2011, the Istanbul Process has become a unique regional cooperation mechanism on Afghanistan, providing an important platform for countries in the region and the wider international community to enhance communication, understanding, coordination and cooperation on Afghanistan. Continued progress of the Istanbul Process will help bring about an early solution to the Afghan issue and the ultimate attainment of durable peace, stability, and economic and social development in the region.

The fourth Ministerial Conference is the first important international conference on Afghanistan since the elections in Afghanistan. We hope that this conference will send a clear signal that the countries in the region, and the rest of the international community, offer their strong support to ensure a smooth transition, establish security and development in Afghanistan, and they reiterate their long-standing commitment to peace and reconstruction there, and demonstrate their full confidence in the future of the country.
