Pakistan had hosted the first such meeting on September 8, 2021.

“Pakistan fully supports a regional approach on Afghanistan for promoting durable peace and stability in the region,” the Ministry said in its statement.

It further maintained that Pakistan will continue to support the international community’s efforts to advance the shared objectives of a “peaceful, stable, sovereign, prosperous and connected Afghanistan”.
