#Moscow plans to host an int. meeting on #Afghanistan soon.
#India hopes #US will delay its military withdrawal.
Efforts made as part of "political engineering" are gaining momentum.
Many regional players incl India & #Pakistan are engaging influential/powerful Afghan figures. 2

Is the region preparing for #peace or another round of greater #chaos in #Afghanistan?
If the #AfghanPeaceProcess collapses, there are signs that the #conflict in the country will not only become more dangerous & deadlier but also a lot uglier & messier. 3

Regional cooperation is vital for the success of #AfghanPeaceProcess.
As I had written in my article👇,“Int. guarantors & a framework involving the region & key international players are needed to coordinate efforts for peace & deter & prevent spoilers". 4
