KABUL, KOMPAS – Indonesia’s role in facilitating the peace process in Afghanistan has gained positive response from the international community. Apart from the country’s involvement in the second Kabul Peace Conference, which Vice President Jusuf Kalla and a number of high-ranking state officials attended, Indonesia is also following up on the conference with a tripartite forum in March between Indonesian, Pakistani and Afghan clerics in Jakarta. The forum aims to embrace the Taliban and welcome it into the fold of the Afghan government.
At the Kabul Peace Conference held on Wednesday (28/2) at Kabul’s Haram Sharai Palace, Kalla – who sat beside Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and High Peace Council chairman Karim Khalili – said that the 40-year conflict in Afghanistan was highly complex.
