For Kazakhstan, supporting economic development along the north-south axis would see Afghanistan becoming a bridge, not a barrier. 

The Taliban have gained access to some of the erstwhile Afghan Republic's embassies and consulates in Central Asia. The consulate in Tajikistan's Khorog may be the latest.

The Taliban are neither demonstrably capable of weakening ISKP, nor are they willing to accept any capacity enhancing external cooperation in this regard.

Afghanistan announced plans to expand its air corridors as it seeks to reconnect to world markets, but significant challenges loom.

Pakistan skipped the meeting, while Russia has proposed a new effort to build “regional consensus” – a G-5.

Far from seeing their rights as bargaining chips for aid, Afghan women live in a reality where the mounting restrictions also affect their ability to survive.

A changing geopolitical landscape requires the U.S. to re-evaluate its South Asia policy and how it positions the region within its larger strategic calculus. 

More than a year after the Taliban takeover, the prospects for economic development in the country remain bleak.

Out: depictions of living things, human rights, foreign inventors, and elections. In: the “seeds of hatred against Western countries” and the rest of the Taliban’s core ideology.
