As we stated time and again, the Afghan case has no military solution and Tajikistan indeed welcomes the peace-building negotiation processes and support any approach aimed at addressing political crisis in this country. The destiny and the future of Afghanistan should be first and foremost led and owned by Afghan people and our belief is firm that stabilization of the situation in this country can be achieved only through Afghan-led, Afghan-owned and Afghan- controlled peacebuilding process. Tajikistan this year is presiding over “The Heart of Asia - Istanbul Process” and during our presidency we will strive to increase a genuine efficiency of this platform. To this day Tajikistan has contributed to the implementation of several joint regional projects on Afghanistan. We built power transmission lines and constructed six transboundary bridges. We stand ready to further advance cooperation which would help active involvement of Afghanistan into the regional integration processes and facilitate its socio-economic recovery.
