The Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at the second meeting of the Moscow format that this meeting is designed to coordinate the development of an inclusive intra-Afghan dialogue towards promoting the process of national reconciliation and the restoration of peace as soon as possible.
“Afghanistan’s problems can only be settled politically, through the attainment of national accord and with the involvement of all parties to the conflict,” the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
The presence of HPC delegation at the event will greatly contribute to the creation of favourable conditions for the launch of direct talks between the government, the Taliban and representatives of broad public and political forces in Afghanistan.
“Russia as the organiser of this event sees its role in working together with its regional partners and Afghanistan’s friends to help launch a constructive intra-Afghan dialogue,” Lavrov added.
“all our countries are facing the threat of international terrorism, one of whose targets is Afghanistan. ISIS as the spearhead of terrorists, supported by its foreign patrons, has tried to turn Afghanistan into a bridgehead for its expansion into Central Asia and the whole of our vast region,” the Russian official continued.
“Our countries and the multilateral organisations active in the region must help the people of Afghanistan foil these plans and root out the terrorist threat,” he stressed.
Lavrov said that his country stands for the preservation of a unified and indivisible Afghanistan where all of the country’s ethnic groups will live at peace with each other.
