UN Envoy Encouraged by Afghanistan-Pakistan Engagements

Date:

The United Nations’ Special Envoy for Afghanistan Thomas Nicholson is encouraged that Pakistan and Afghanistan are still strengthening relationships. Pakistani premiere’s visit to Kabul and the Chief of Army Staff Gen Bajwa engagement with the top Aghan leadership demonstrates Pakistan’s keen interest in restoring the historical ties.

Nicholson believes that Pakistan is not part of the problem; instead, it is part of a peaceful and settled Afghanistan solution. In the long run, Afghanistan is the solution for Pakistan, owing to the broader connectivity it can provide to Central Asia, he told a local TV.

Nicholson said that Pakistan and Afghanistan share a long history and have a long border. Still, unfortunately, there is “a high level of mistrust” between the leadership of both countries.

“An insecure, violent, unsettled Afghanistan will have spillover effects on Pakistan,” he said.

“I also happen to think that Afghanistan is part of the solution for Pakistan,” said Nicholson, citing connectivity, trade, and energy from Central Asia.

“You remember the old slogan from Nokia — ‘connecting people’. We could actually say, ‘Afghanistan: connecting people, because that’s the way it should be because it is where it is,” the envoy said. He added: “But it just so happens, as long as the civil war continues, this will not happen.”


He said the day the civil war ends, “it will happen, and then you will see all these or some of these connectivity networks, digital connectivity, transit trade. The link between South Asia and Central Asia, and Afghanistan will really play the role it can. It will help the Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asian economies. The perception of Afghanistan will be very, very different from what it is today,” Nicholson said.

  1. Aw, this was an incredibly nice post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to
    make a good article… but what can I say… I hesitate a lot
    and don’t manage to get nearly anything done.

  2. We’re a bunch of volunteers and opening a new scheme in our
    community. Your web site offered us with helpful information to work on. You’ve performed a formidable
    process and our whole neighborhood will be thankful to you.

  3. Probiotic manufacturers measure amounts of bacteria in colony-forming
    units (CFUs). Supplements can vary, with some commonly having a CFU of billions.
    Foods with added probiotics often contain lower
    variety of bacteria. Generally, people might take higher-CFU products for specific conditions and a lower-CFU product for
    overall health maintenance.

    Some formulas might also contain prebiotics. Including prebiotics could be beneficial, as
    they supply substances for probiotics to digest. This method can produce short-chain fatty acids, which can help maintain the fitness of a person’s
    colon and immune system.

    Some research shows that in order for prebiotics to work, they have to withstand food processing and reach the colon undigested.

    Some of the very common types of prebiotic in supplements and foods are called
    oligosaccharides.

    Some people’s bodies can be sensitive to prebiotics, so taking an excessive amount of them can cause flatulence or diarrhea.
    Such people can obtain the health advantages of prebiotics by instead including a lot of fiber and resistant starch within their diets and eating foods such as garlic, onions, bananas, and oats.

  4. Very great post. I simply stumbled upon your weblog and wished to mention that I have really enjoyed surfing around your blog posts.
