Role of Pakistan in the Afghan Peace Process
Stability and reconciliation in Afghanistan have been the goals of the difficult and drawn-out Afghan peace process. Being a major regional player and neighbor, Pakistan has been instrumental in promoting the peace process. In addition to stressing Pakistan's diplomatic efforts, regional influence, and possible obstacles, this article offers a succinct summary of Pakistan's involvement in the Afghan peace process. Pakistan’s involvement in the Afghan peace process stems from its own security concerns, as instability in Afghanistan directly affects Pakistan's security landscape. It has facilitated dialogues, provided venues for negotiations, and encouraged both sides to engage in meaningful talks. Furthermore, Pakistan is positioned as a key player in the peace process due to its historical ties to the Taliban and its influence over some factions. The parties' ability to communicate and come to the bargaining table has been greatly aided by Pakistan's mediation role.
