The US Envoy for Afghanistan, Thomas West, emphasized the reintegration of Afghanistan into the global community as a key objective of the countries participating in the Doha meeting.
US Policy Towards Afghanistan
Kabul 24: The US policy towards Afghanistan is based on two principles: protecting US national interests and supporting the Afghan people.
A key US interest is ensuring Afghanistan does not become a terrorist threat against the US again. The US is engaging with the Taliban on fulfilling their commitments in this regard.
Reintegration of Afghanistan
The Doha meeting aims to launch a process for the reintegration of Afghanistan into the community of nations. This is an ambitious goal that requires hitting important milestones.
These milestones include women and girls’ rights to education and work, the Taliban’s ban on poppy cultivation, and budget transparency.
Challenges Ahead

Countries, including the US, are pursuing their own interests in Afghanistan, which may not always be openly presented.
Continued Support for Afghan Women
