Speaking at a consultative meeting to strengthen consensus for peace, President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani said that if peace were established in Afghanistan, the countries of the region would have two percent more economic growth.
President Ashraf Ghani on Monday opened the virtual conference on Afghanistan, titled “Strengthening Consensus for Peace,” with representatives of some 20 regional countries and international organizations in attendance.
“A regional and global consensus will help build the framework for a peace agreement and that the practical plan for peace will reach a desired result,” he said.
The president warned the peace process in the country might face “serious challenges” if the Taliban continued with the war.

He thanked Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, India and Central Asian countries for trade avenues to evade shortages of basic items in the landlocked country during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“All countries in the region face the threat of terrorism, regional crime networks and extremism. The rational understanding is that we can work together, and Afghanistan as crossroads of regional cooperation can play a good role in regional stability and prosperity,” he underlined.

“The champions of peace will be people of Afghanistan and the region. Regional support for a democratic system in Afghanistan would further strengthen regional cooperation,” he added.
