In recent years, the peace and stability of Afghanistan have become a focal point of international attention, especially since the Doha Talks, which sought to broker an end to the decades of conflict. This panel discussion will analyze the ongoing complexities surrounding peacebuilding in Afghanistan, particularly the convergence and divergence of regional and international dynamics in peace-making efforts.

The primary aim of this discussion is to assess the interplay between regional actors and international efforts, particularly those spearheaded by the United Nations (UN), in fostering a sustainable peace process in Afghanistan. Delving into areas of both alignment and discord will provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of current strategies and highlight pathways for future collaboration.
