It said the forum had comprehensively reviewed the evolving security situation in the region, with a particular focus on Border Management and Internal Security.
Discussing the looming humanitarian and security threats in Afghanistan, the participants of the meeting said that sustained and meaningful engagement with the new Taliban government by the international community was essential to ensure peace and stability in the war-torn state and its surrounding region.
