A comprehensive briefing was given
to them on the ongoing NATO’s operation in Afghanistan. The discussions
were devoted to the developments of the situation in Afghanistan and
insurgency over boarder with Pakistan.
Special emphasis was laid on NATO-Pakistan relations especially close ties and collaboration with Pakistan, as Pakistan is the key partners for stability of the region.
NATO’s assistance to Pakistan’s earthquake hit areas in 2005 and subsequent efforts for rehabilitation were highlighted. Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, Climate Change, Piracy and Cyber Crimes are the challenges NATO is confronted with today.
The Young Parliamentarian Forum delegation stressed that military operations alone will not provide a long-term answer to creating a secure and peaceful environment in the area.
A comprehensive approach, involving all stakeholders, massive reconstruction of the region and poverty alleviation is the solution for a successful outcome of the international engagement.
The delegation also gave Pakistan’s point of view on the security situation in the region as well as Pakistan’s proactive efforts at establishing peace in the region.
Dilating up the deteriorating situation as a result of air strikes, the Parliamentarians called for a politically and economically stable Afghanistan so that the process of dialogue may get a chance to restore peace in the area.
They also reiterated Pakistan’s stance that a stable and peaceful Afghanistan is in the vital interest of Pakistan.
The members of delegation represent all political parties including PML (N); PML (Q); ANP and PPP. During their stay in Brussels the delegation will visit Supreme Europe Allied Headquarters (SHAPE) and will also attend briefing at Kashmir Centre, Brussels.
