"The Way Forward in Afghanistan"
Summary
More than seven years after the US invasion of Afghanistan, the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan remains one of the highest national security challenge for the US. Afghanistan has entered a downward spiral in the last three years as security has seriously deteriorated and Afghans are increasingly losing confidence in the Afghan government and the international community. This panel discussion will explore what critical steps must be taken in the areas of security, governance, rule of law, political reconciliation, and development to put Afghanistan back on the path to peace and stability.
