Malaysia should support Afghanistan peace talks

EARLIER last month, the Turkish government announced that Turkey would be hosting and facilitating a new round of peace talks between the government of Afghanistan and the Taliban sometime in April this year. The upcoming talks aim to complement and reinforce previous meetings held in Qatar.

With this Ankara initiative, it is expected that the parties involved would be able to further solidify and potentially lay the foundation for a permanent and just settlement to the long and complex Afghanistan armed conflict.
