Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Stable Afghanistan is a prerequisite for the sustainable development of Central Asia as a whole, Permanent Representative of Uzbekistan to the United Nations Bakhtiyor Ibragimov said in his speech at the General Debates of the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly.
Uzbek envoy said that recently Uzbekistan has notably expanded its bilateral relations with Afghanistan, actively joined multilateral efforts on resolving the Afghan problem and is making real contribution to restoring the country’s economy as well as to developing close trade-economic and transport-communication ties.
“In March of the current year in Tashkent we convened the Conference on Afghanistan. As President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev stated during his address at the Conference, and I quote, “we are ready, at any stage of the peace process, to create all necessary conditions for organizing on the territory of Uzbekistan direct negotiations between the Government of Afghanistan and the Taliban Movement” (end of quote),” he said.
“The unanimous adoption of the Tashkent Declaration has become the main outcome of the Forum. It reinforced a firm consensus on the regional and global levels on the necessity of the earliest launch of the direct negotiations between the Government of Afghanistan and the Taliban Movement without any preliminary conditions,” Bakhtiyor Ibragimov added.
“We are convinced that the readiness of the confronting parties to mutual negotiations in the name of vital interests of the multinational Afghan people would become a solid basis for advancing peace process in this country,” the diplomat noted.
