“we had a very serious and precise attention to the problem of the continuation of the war in Afghanistan. This is our common position that the war in Afghanistan does not have a military solution. The only way to peace is to have a political dialogue between the Afghan government and its opponents,” Mirziyoyev added.
It is worth mentioning that Uzbekistan has been interested in resolving Afghan issues and has tried to bring Taliban to the negotiation table.
