Abstract
The article analyses the results of the second meeting within the framework of the Kabul Process, that was held on 28 February, 2018 in Kabul with the participation of the representatives of 25 countries and three international organizations. This format was founded in 2017 as a peacekeeping mechanism under the leadership of the Afghan Government to lead peace efforts to end violence in Afghanistan. Unlike the first meeting, which have not led to meaningful results, the second conference finished with signing of the final Declaration. In addition, two documents prepared by the Government of Afghanistan aimed at achieving peace with the Taliban and strengthening regional cooperation to counter terrorism and drug threat were distributed during the event. The meeting was focused on two main topics: modality of the peace process and fight against terrorism. The President of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan insisted that terrorism is not only an issue for Afghanistan, but it also imposes threats to the countries of the region and the whole world. The Afghan Government put forward an important offer for peace to the Taliban to engage in direct peace talks. According to the Plan «Offering Peace»presented at the conference, the National Unity Government would agree to the opening of a Taliban office, issuance of passports to its members, recognition of the Taliban as a political party, helping to remove sanctions and release prisoners. Participants of the Kabul Process called upon the Taliban to accept this Peace Offer without any preconditions and without the threat of violence. And now international community expects that this offer will lead towards the establishment of a genuine peace process.
