Dr. Huma Baqai (IR Expert): Pakistan strongly believes that an Afghan-owned and Afghan-led peace process is the only viable solution to Afghan crisis. Joe Biden administration has announced an unconditional withdraw of international forces from Afghanistan. In my opinion, Taliban should be convinced to attend the forthcoming meeting in Turkey and take advantage of this opportunity. Taliban must be taken onboard for the smooth political transition in Afghanistan. There is a strategic confusion in Afghanistan. US government is not ready for a future military commitment to Afghanistan. However, Washington will continue its diplomatic and economic ties with that country. The United States would ensure its presence in Afghanistan.
