Analysis

Afghanistan has made a commitment: it won’t let its land be used as a starting point for conflict. At the same time, it’s eager to be seen for what it can become — a center for connectivity, a bridge linking different regions, and a partner in prosperity. 

The event reflected a growing agreement that with a clear strategy and international cooperation, Afghanistan could evolve from being a passive observer to a key player in the Belt and Road vision.

The era of U.S. unchallenged economic supremacy is ending. The multipolar world that most analysts have predicted for decades is no longer something that one day might be the case—it's the world now.

Given the current situation, the first step should be reactivating Afghanistan’s observer status in the SCO. Formal recognition of Afghanistan’s government could follow later, based on the evolving realities on the ground.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan appears to prioritise its national interests by seeking to establish positive and amicable relations with all neighbouring countries and regional powers, including China, Russia, Iran, Central Asian states, and Pakistan. Such an approach is conducive to enhancing Afghanistan's security and fostering economic stability.

China has proven to be a reliable neighbor to Afghanistan, and the history of their cordial relations offers valuable lessons for the future. As both countries navigate an increasingly complex global and regional landscape, this anniversary provides an opportunity to reflect on the achievements of their partnership and envision a new phase of strategic collaboration.

The profile of Sirajuddin Haqqani by The New York Times thus marks an important milestone in the evolving relationship between the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the international community. As Haqqani’s moderate rhetoric garners attention, this newfound engagement could serve as the foundation for a cautious yet constructive diplomatic future for Afghanistan.

د نړيوالو اړیکو په ډګر کې،  د ښه پلان شويو پيغامونو او مثبتو روایتونو ایجادولو اغېز ډېری وخت د دوديزې ديپلوماسۍ په څېر اغېزمن وي، او د سراج الدین حقاني دا پیژندلیک د دې مهمې موخې د ترلاسه کولو  لپاره يو ښه مثال دی.

The economic fallout of such a conflict would not be limited to the immediate participants but would reverberate across the Middle East and Central Asia, plunging countries like Afghanistan into deeper economic hardship.
