Ashraf GhaniVarmennettu tili

Today I landed in Kabul after a successful #GVAfghanistan2018. I spoke about the importance of regional interdependence, economic integration, and empowering private sector to spur economic growth and job creation.

I thank the international community for their unwavering support and commitment toward development, peace and security and Afghanistan's prosperity.

I presented our comprehensive plan for the next steps of peace process. It was widely welcomed by our international partners particularly the United States, the European Union and the participating nations at this conference.

I thank our partners and their commitment to ending the Afghan conflict and lending support for an inclusive Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace process.

The strike in Helmand where friendly forces accidentally killed civilians is a tragic reminder that the war has gone for too long. 18 enemy combatants have also been killed but enemy uses human shield to place non-combatants in harms way and have repeated this tactic frequently.
