A landmark Regional Dialogue titled “Towards Unity and Trust” is set to bring together Afghan and Pakistani voices in Islamabad, marking a people-centric effort to counter regional challenges and promote lasting peace.
Organized by Women for Afghanistan, SASSI, and partners, the two-day dialogue will gather Afghan civil society representatives, women’s rights activists, journalists, and community leaders alongside Pakistani academics and policy thinkers. Unlike the Kabul regime, which faces criticism for exclusion and repression, this Afghan-led, Afghan-centred process places ordinary citizens—women and men—at the core of shaping a future based on trust, democracy, and cooperation.
The Islamabad dialogue aims to strengthen cross-border understanding, establish shared principles of stability, rule of law, and elected government, and lay the foundation for regional unity built on trust between people rather than imposed by rulers.
This initiative marks the beginning of the “Islamabad Process” for building durable cooperation and dignified peace in Afghanistan.
