US Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Alice Wells has listed peace in Afghanistan as a priority for the American administration.
Wells said in a statement: “In my address at the Heart of Asia summit, I called upon all Afghan and regional stakeholders to support actions that can lead to a reduction of violence and Intra-Afghan Negotiations.”
There was increasing consensus that regional and donor countries must work together to promote trade, combat threats & power economies, she claimed.
The US has been a major contributor to regional infrastructure development across Asia, including Afghanistan, as the largest shareholder of the World Bank and leading donor to the Asian Development Bank.
