US War Commission Turns to Pakistan for Afghan War Review
The delegation is reviewing the United States’ 20-year Afghanistan war and heard Pakistan’s concerns about cross-border attacks and regional security, ISPR said.
On Monday, a United States Afghanistan War Commission delegation led by Co-Chairs Shamila N. Chaudhary and Dr. Colin F. Jackson met Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir at General Headquarters in Rawalpindi.
The delegation is undertaking a review of the United States' 20-year engagement in Afghanistan, with discussions covering regional security and developments within the country.
Field Marshal Asim Munir underscored the importance of incorporating Islamabad's regional perspective when assessing the strategic and diplomatic dimensions of the conflict.
Pakistan has witnessed a sharp rise in terrorist incidents in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan since 2021; Islamabad maintains the Afghan Taliban failed to take effective action against groups attacking Pakistan.
The delegation acknowledged Pakistan's longstanding role and sacrifices during the conflict, appreciating its continued contribution to regional peace and stability as the Commission assesses strategic dimensions.
