July 26, 2021
Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s article ‘Japan’s Strategic Choices in Afghanistan’ has been published in ‘Asia’s Next Page’, a column in Japan Forward on July 26, 2021.
The article argues that in hopes of a stable environment, Tokyo will also continue to support peace dialogues between the Afghan government and the Taliban, with the aim of promoting a peace agreement by and for the Afghan people. Simultaneously, Tokyo will want to sustain and nurture channels of communication with both factions so as to ensure it can have a say in the country’s future alongside major players.
