我们注意到，国际社会越来越明白从区域角度解决阿富汗问题的重要性，而且致力于解决这一问题的平台也在增加。我们认为，重要的是，区域有关方应在此类平台的活动中发挥决定性作用。有鉴于此，我们认为，伊斯坦布尔进程——又称“亚洲心脏地带进程”——必须提出新的想法，而不是重复已成功运作的区域组织的工作。
We note the growing global understanding of the importance of the regional context for an Afghan settlement as well as the increase in the number of platforms focusing on this issue. We believe that it is important that in such platforms’ activities regional players should play the decisive role. In that context, we believe that the Istanbul Process, which was also known as the Heart of Asia Process, must generate new ideas, rather than duplicate the work of already successfully operating regional organizations.
