President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani and Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi agreed on seven key issues related to Afghanistan-Pakistan Action Plan for Peace and Solidarity (APAPPS), according to Khaama press agency. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan (MoFA) said the agreement was made during a meeting between the leaders of the two countries in Kabul on Friday with an aim to finalize the APAPPS between the two countries. According to MoFA, the two leaders agreed that Pakistan will support an Afghan-led peace process and will take effective steps against the militants and circles attempting to pose threat to the security of the countries. They also agreed that no country, network, group, or individual would be allowed to use the soil of the two countries for conducting destructive activities, and that a mechanism will be formed to assess, coordinate, and agree on the implementation of the agreement. Afghanistan and Pakistan’s leaders also agreed to respect the airspace and territorial integrity of each other and refrain from blame game by resolving the issues and differences through the bilateral cooperation mechanism, which will be established under the APAPPS. They agreed that working groups will be established to help implement APAPPS, according to MoFA. An Afghan presidential statement said both sides agreed to further an Islamabad-proposed plan for a comprehensive bilateral dialogue. It said foreign ministries and national security advisers of the two countries have been tasked with jointly finalizing the proposal, aka APAPPS. The statement did not say what the plan would be and how they will persuade Taliban to start talks to end the 17-year war. However, Kabul is pushing Islamabad to use its influence to affect alleged Taliban leaders in Pakistani border areas and persuade them to start peace talks with the Afghan government.
