6 nations crucial role in new Afghan govt.
Although most countries are taking a "wait and see" approach before recognising the Taliban's new authority in afghanistan, the Taliban have formed new relationships and gained friends. For most nations, such as iran, turkey, russia, and China, the goal was to rebalance the region's strategic landscape in light of the US withdrawal and the void that has resulted.
Pakistan, as they have in the past, might be one of the first countries to recognise the new Taliban administration. pakistan has been dubbed the Taliban's "second home." Many Taliban members have families in the country, and their children attend school there. The symbiotic connection would always guarantee the pakistan military a comfortable position inside the Taliban leadership.
China, like many countries, will wait and see before recognising the Taliban as a legitimate administration. beijing sees a chance to extend its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which includes afghanistan as a crucial connection, but security and stability remain a worry. The US and other nations will be watching China's actions in afghanistan intently. It may also have to deal with the reality that it now has to deal with the United States, which has more time to focus on its primary competitor, China.
In november 2018, Russia hosted a "high-level" Taliban mission, as well as a delegation from Afghanistan's "High Peace Council," as well as 12 other countries. The meeting's major goal is to expedite Afghanistan's national reconciliation process and bring peace to the country as soon as feasible. russia has a lot riding on afghanistan, but it will wait for an all-encompassing "inclusive" afghanistan before giving it formal status.
Iran's connections with the Taliban have been strained in the past, only to be patched up by the US after years of isolation. In 1998, during the previous Taliban administration in afghanistan, the two sides were on the verge of war following the assassination of Iranian diplomats. Separate from the Doha agreement between the Taliban and the US, Tehran established a track to have discussions and become a role in the peace negotiations. afghanistan is a significant nation for iran as a neighbour.
Although Turkey was also participating in NATO operations in 2001, it sees an opportunity in a vacuum left by the US and NATO. They also want to benefit from commerce by allowing Turkish goods to flood the Afghan market and allowing Turkish construction companies to reconstruct the war-torn country. With the Taliban maintaining the airport's security, turkey is expected to give logistical help for restarting operations at Kabul airport.
Because saudi arabia and turkey were considered as being too close to the Afghan government to be impartial, Qatar was picked to host peace talks. When President Barack Obama's government attempted to terminate the conflict in 2011, qatar played a key role in providing the Taliban with a stronghold in Doha. qatar is currently giving technical assistance to Hamid Karzai international Airport.
