Car bomb in Afghan capital kills young girl, wounds 19
What Afghan President has offered can form a basis of significant and substantive peace process that could lead to restoration of durable peace and stability to war-torn Afghanistan.
"We look forward to being a part of that meeting".
UNAMA said in a statement over 25 countries and global organizations participated in the second Kabul Process conference which was held on Wednesday.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has made a series of assurances including recognition of the Afghan Taliban as a legitimate political group and release of prisoners as the extremist organisation shows increasing willingness to hold dialogue in a bid to end the 16-year-long conflict between the US-backed government and the Islamist group.
Under Mansour's successor, a religious scholar named Mawlawi Haibatullah Akhundzada, Taliban insurgents have all but abandoned their political pretenses and escalated violence against civilian and security targets. "So, it is a good move and a healthy sign emerging in Afghanistan [towards promoting peace]". Responding to a question Khawaja Muhammad Asif said that Pakistan would frame its foreign policy keeping in view the national interests. The following year, Omar's successor, Mullah Akthar Muhammad Mansour, was killed in a USA drone strike along the Afghan-Pakistan border.

Texas university fires baseball coach after Colorado comment
Slabach added that he's planning to contact Bell with an invitation to enroll at Texas Wesleyan. The coach finished the email by writing, "You can thank your liberal politicians.
"Taliban leaders and all members, the decision is in your hands".
Ghani said Afghanistan is determined to overcome the current threats and expand shared interests and grasp opportunities. "How can a liberation struggle be deemed complete without foreign forces pulling out?" It seems that neighbouring country is not ready to negotiate he added.
"Our stakes are much, much higher, rather these stakes are existential stakes as compared to America, who [is] remote-controlling things in Afghanistan", Asif asserted. It's a whole different fight over there.
Asif said the tensions and security challenges facing his country stem from Islamabad's polices of siding with Washington in the Afghan resistance against Soviet occupation of the neighboring country and joining the USA -led military coalition that invaded Afghanistan after the September, 2001 attacks in the U.S.
The foreign minister said that Pakistan was presently going through a period of uncertainty but hoped the country would come out of it. "But we will, in no way, sacrifice our national interests and become an American proxy, or safeguard American interests like we did in the past", he stressed.
