The Ministry highlighted that Pakistan had initiated the Neighbouring Countries format in September 2021, “with a view to evolving a regional approach on the situation in Afghanistan”.

Pakistan had hosted the first such meeting on September 8, 2021.

“Pakistan fully supports a regional approach on Afghanistan for promoting durable peace and stability in the region,” the Ministry said in its statement.

It further maintained that Pakistan will continue to support the international community’s efforts to advance the shared objectives of a “peaceful, stable, sovereign, prosperous and connected Afghanistan”.
