Day: February 2, 2014
Peace Picks, February 3-7
Relatively few events this week, as the nation’s capital thaws from the deep freeze:
1. Peace and Stability in Afghanistan Post-2014: What Role for Regional Actors?
Tuesday, February 4 | 2pm – 3:30pm
Atlantic Council, 1030 15th St NW, 12th Floor
The peaceful future of Afghanistan is intertwined with the peaceful future of the region even more so once the withdrawal of International Security Assistance Forces from Afghanistan will be completed by the end of 2014. The country’s direct and regional neighbors will have the honor and responsibility to support Afghanistan’s quest for independent, secure, and prosperous development.
In 2012, the Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES) established a network of policy groups in Afghanistan, Central Asia, India, and Pakistan for a regional project entitled “Envisioning a Secure and Independent Afghanistan Post 2014. Perspectives and Strategies for Constructive Conflict Resolution from the Neighborhood.”
