Islamabad, November 11, 2021 (PPI-OT):“PAEC is a leading organisation developing national and international collaborations to enhance the applications of nuclear technology for achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs) in Pakistan,” Dr Muhammad Naeem, Chairman, Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) said this in his keynote address at the Webinar on “The Role of Pakistan’s Peaceful Nuclear Programme in Socioeconomic Development.” The Arms Control and Disarmament Centre (ACDC) at the Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad (ISSI) hosted the webinar on November 11, 2021.

While welcoming the guests, Ambassador Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry, Director General ISSI, stated that while the nuclear capability provided security from the Indian aggression, it is also serving the people of Pakistan in every sector including energy, environment, agriculture and medicine.

Earlier in his introductory remarks, Malik Qasim Mustafa, Director ACDC-ISSI, said that Pakistan is making use of peaceful nuclear technology in almost all sectors including energy, agriculture, industry, medical, environment and other related areas to bring the socioeconomic development of the country. There are around 84 research and education institutes, 88 medical radiation facilities, 214 industrial radiation facilities, 5170 diagnostic X-ray facilities and 347 other radiation facilities are operating in Pakistan.

While providing a comprehensive overview of “Nuclear Power Generation and Energy Security” in Pakistan, Mr Parvez Butt, former Chairman PAEC, said that nuclear power is a mature technology and sustainable energy option. It is an essential part of the solution to the energy crisis in Pakistan, as it contributes to i) stabilizing electricity prices; ii) enhancing energy security; iii) and a clean environment.

In his remarks on “Application of Nuclear Technologies in Agriculture,” Dr Tariq Mahmud Shah, Director, Nuclear Institute for Agriculture and Biology (NIAB), highlighted climate change, yield stagnation, declining soil fertility, blasts and rusts as emerging threats. To augment the application of nuclear technologies in the agriculture sector, Pakistan should concentrate on mutation technique innovation and the advanced training of scientists and experts.

Mr Asghar Ali Khan, former Director, National Centre for Non-destructive Testing talked about “Application of Nuclear Technologies in Industry.” He sketched out the various industrial applications of nuclear techniques like non-destructive testing (NDT), radio-gauges, radiotracers, radiation processing, materials analysis and characterisation.

While expressing her views on “Use of Nuclear Technologies in the Health Sector,” Dr Shazia Fatima, Head of Nuclear Medicine Department, NORI, said that for a common man the word ‘nuclear’ is a synonym of ‘destruction’. There is a need to change the narrative and create awareness about the beneficial health applications of nuclear technology. Nuclear technology has not only revolutionised the field of hybrid imaging and oncology but also significantly improved the selection of appropriate therapy responses and personalised medicine.

The presentations were followed by an extensive question and answer session. Concluding the webinar, Ambassador Khalid Mahmood, Chairman BOG ISSI, said that Pakistan started its peaceful nuclear programme much earlier than its nuclear weapon programme. The nuclear community of Pakistan is dedicated to their national cause and their achievements must be recognised and promoted to a much larger scale.

Islamabad, November 10, 2021 (PPI-OT):The Centre for Afghanistan, Middle East and Africa (CAMEA) at the Institute of Strategic Studies (ISSI) in collaboration with the Middle East Monitor (MEMO), UK held a webinar on “Conversations on Afghanistan: Middle East’s Perspectives” on November 10, 2021. The distinguished speakers included: Ambassador Ali Awadh Asseri, Former Ambassador of Saudi Arabia to Pakistan, Dr. Daud Abdullah, Director Middle East Monitor (MEMO), Mr. Hashmat Moslih, independent political analyst with special focus on Afghanistan and Mr. Ahmad Shah Durrani, author of An Outside the Box Look at Afghanistan: New Ideas for Lasting Peace and Stability.

During her introductory remarks, Ms. Amina Khan, Director CAMEA stated that the real test for the Taliban has only just begun – which is not confined to the capture of power, but is more about legitimacy, recognition, and performance. With every passing day, Afghanistan is inching closer to a humanitarian crisis with its economy moving in a downward spiral. Provision of humanitarian aid to Afghanistan by certain regional countries is reassuring however; it is not enough to sustain the Afghan population.

The latest developments in Afghanistan have been capturing the close attention of the international community, and the Middle East at large, especially the Gulf States. Important players in the region, such as Qatar, UAE and Saudi Arabia, none of which have recognized the new regime, view the situation in Afghanistan with uncertainty, primarily with concerns revolving around whether the Taliban will be able to deliver on their pledges of reform pertaining to governance, human/women rights, and whether the group will be able to curb the possible regrouping and consolidation of terrorist groups.

During his welcome remarks, Ambassador Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry, Director General ISSI, said that while the situation in Afghanistan has several dimensions, nothing is more urgent at this time than to extend humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan. He said that members of the international community, especially Pakistan and other neighbours of Afghanistan, have a very special responsibility to help the people of Afghanistan. He further said that the second issue of concern is how to persuade the Taliban to honour the commitments they had previously made. Unless they make good on their assurances, Afghanistan will become even more vulnerable to terrorist outfits, he said.

Ambassador Ali Awadh Asseri was of the view that Afghanistan is an important Muslim country and it has suffered tremendously during the past two decades. Afghanistan should not be left alone and countries such as Pakistan should muster a plan to avoid a situation in which Afghanistan is completely destabilized. Moreover, he said that Afghanistan should not be allowed to become a safe haven for terrorist elements and that a united and stable Afghanistan is the need of the hour.

He also said that at the moment, Saudi Arabia is reluctant to take any step without having prior assurance from the Taliban. Pakistan should take a lead in dealing with the state of affairs in Afghanistan as compared to any other country since no one knows Afghanistan better than Pakistan. Despite the situation in Afghanistan, focus should be on collaboration rather than competition. He also stated that since Pakistan has the potential to play such an instrumental role, it should convene a conference on Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia would happily take part.

Dr. Daud Abdullah while shedding light on the situation, was of the view that the time has come to shift focus on the Afghan people and on preserving the integrity of the Afghan people. Security and stability of Afghanistan is intertwined with security and stability of the Middle East, he stated. If Afghanistan is to succeed in the current challenges it faces, a lot will depend on the Middle Eastern countries and on Afghanistan itself and that the time is of the essence, he said.

He further said that the first issue is whether to recognize the current political reality in Afghanistan and on the question of refugees, he said that this issue is of immense importance since it creates immense social tensions. He said that a greater measure of pragmatism should be adopted towards Afghanistan. He also identified that an important point to note is that even if countries in the Middle East do not engage with the current dispensation in Afghanistan, there are other countries willing to do so. Therefore, States in the Middle East have more to lose than to gain from a disintegrated and destabilized Afghanistan, he said.

Mr. Ahmad Shah Durrani highlighted the many dimensions of the Afghan issue. There are three ways to approach the situation in Afghanistan: short term, intermediate, and long-term perspective, he said. The situation may also be viewed either in a political or a religious dimension. He further mentioned that the interest of the US military-industrial conflicts is that there will be no stability to the extent that these countries can create a union under the European model. He further said that Iran feels threatened and encircled by the shifting alliances in the Middle East.

There is an increasing coordination between Israel and certain Middle Eastern countries for example the recent arrangement between Azerbaijan and Israel. Iran has maintained a relationship with the Taliban and at the same time has managed to avoid isolation from the West by supporting the Afghani movement. Since then, the movement has also shifted towards Qatar, Turkey and Gaza. As a result, this has kept the Taliban away from Saudi Arabia. He said that events in Afghanistan have shocked everyone and pointed out that after 43 years of fighting, any country in the world would be cut into pieces. However, there is still unity in Afghanistan which is why it is still standing. The Taliban leadership should become wise in understanding the dimensions of international politics, he concluded.

Mr. Hashmat Moslih said that the crisis of image and identity has still not been resolved as yet in Afghanistan which has had a turbulent history for more than a 100 years. Ever since the creation of the modern nation-state, Afghanistan has had issues. He says that Afghanistan is a nation of minorities and that there is no single majority. The question of concern is that internally, in whose image Afghanistan should become a state. He was of the view that the concept of nation state has failed in Afghanistan and in Muslims in general and that every common man wants dignity. The idea of human security which has been given by the Americans gives western states liberty to interfere in the internal affairs of the countries and that the western states have made a mockery of the concept of sovereignty.

He also said that although India is not a direct neighbour of Afghanistan, it has tried to build influence in Afghanistan for the sake of countering Pakistan. He further said that the influence of Pakistan over the Taliban is very limited. Since there is not much economic activity between the two sides, the Taliban can close down the borders if they feel threatened by Pakistan and this in turn will impact trade with Central Asian States, other regional countries and beyond. It is in the interest of all the Middle Eastern countries to have safe and secure Afghanistan and that the Gulf countries should recognize as they did in the past, as it is in their interest to recognize the regime and work with it for their own interest.

In his concluding remarks, Ambassador Khalid Mahmood stated that one thing that stands out in Afghanistan is the humanitarian crisis which calls for immediate assistance. A warning has been given by many organizations including the UN. While talking about the Middle East, the focus is on the Gulf, Iran, Turkey so far as Afghanistan is concerned. The US is changing its policies in the Middle East and has taken steps to convey that it is shifting its focus towards the Asian Pacific. New developments and alliances are emerging due to changing US policies and the Gulf is maintaining the role of mediator. He further said that the US is not going to completely evacuate from Middle East due to the threat of resurgence of terrorism, it shall instead have to maintain an over-the-horizon counter terrorism policy.

Islamabad, November 03, 2021 (PPI-OT):The Centre for Afghanistan, Middle East and Africa (CAMEA) at the Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad (ISSI) held a Panel Discussion on ‘Conversations on the Evolving Situation in Afghanistan: Pakistan’s Role in Afghanistan’ which is the ninth in a series of conversations CAMEA will be having on Afghanistan – under its Conversations on the on the Evolving Situation in Afghanistan series.

The distinguished speakers included: Ambassador Ayaz Wazir, Former Ambassador of Pakistan, Mr. Arash Yaqin, National Security Analyst with focus on South and Central Asia and Mr. Hassan Khan, Senior Journalist. Ambassador Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry, Director General ISSI and Ambassador Khalid Mahmood also participated in the discussion.

During her opening remarks, Ms. Amina Khan, Director CAMEA stated that the situation in Afghanistan has drastically evolved since the Taliban took over as a result of US withdrawal from Afghanistan. While there is no doubt that with the US exit and in the absence of a negotiated settlement, a military takeover by the group was expected, the manner and the speed at which the transition has taken place not anticipated. Given its proximity to Afghanistan as well as religious and ethnic linkages, Pakistan is perhaps the most important regional player that has always been directly affected by events in that country.

Since the takeover of the Taliban in August 2021, Islamabad’s policy towards the group has been guided by a regional approach, where Islamabad has been calling for an inclusive political set up, honouring human rights, as well as assurances from the group that Afghan soil will not be used against any state. At the same time, Pakistan is working with the regional countries to help avert the humanitarian crisis and has sent humanitarian aid to Afghanistan. Prime Minister Imran Khan has time and again stated that mistakes of the past should not be repeated, isolating Afghanistan is not a solution, and more importantly has been urging the international community to provide much-needed humanitarian aid for the people of Afghanistan.

Ambassador Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry, in his opening remarks he shed light on the different aspects of the current situation in Afghanistan. These include the people of Afghanistan, how the Taliban will govern the country and the role of regional countries. He stated that the region cannot sit back and merely watch events unfold and instead it has to play a concrete role. Similarly, he elucidated how Pakistan has key concerns regarding the situation in Afghanistan. On the role of the international community, he said that there has been a consistent demand to engage with the Taliban and it is important to see how the Taliban regime can be incentivized to honour their commitments.

Ambassador Ayaz Wazir stated that, although the Taliban have taken control of Afghanistan, they still have to prove that they can deliver. He was of the view that the region wants a broad based and inclusive government and it is not easy for regional countries to recognise an un-inclusive government in Afghanistan. He outlined how Afghanistan is on the verge of economic collapse and if the looming situation in the country is not dealt with carefully it will result in a civil war. While talking about the role of Pakistan, he was of the view that Pakistan should be very careful about its relations with Afghanistan since the latter is a very important country for Pakistan and Islamabad has high stakes here.

He went on to describe how the current situation in Afghanistan has adversely impacted trade and arrangements should be made to ensure hassle free trade. Moreover, Pakistan should keep all routes open round the clock. While talking about the question of recognition he mentioned that it should not be made conditional. While talking about the threat of terrorism and role of terrorist organisations he said that power and weakness in Afghanistan is dependent on how peaceful the country is. If peace prevails it will be very difficult for terrorist organisations to use Afghan soil against any country in the region. He concluded by saying that it is important to engage with the Taliban to bring peace into the country because it will ultimately lead to peace in the region.

Mr. Arash Yaqin said that the situation in Afghanistan has shocked everyone since no one had anticipated that the Taliban would take over the country in this way. Pakistan and Afghanistan both are important neighbours and Pakistan should not be blamed for what has happened in Afghanistan. He said that presently Afghanistan is in a kind of great game situation; on one hand between China, Russia and America and on the other hand between India, Pakistan, Iran and Saudi Arabia. He was of the view that the problem of Afghanistan is disastrous for all the stakeholders and the future is still unclear. The exit of Ashraf Ghani in such a hasty manner has left the country in a limbo.

He said that now Taliban should not have to prove that they have won the county but now it is time for them to fulfill and honour their commitments which they have made with the Afghan people and to the entire international community. Those who failed Afghanistan in the past twenty years have fled the country and taken much needed financial resources of the country with them. As a result, the low level work-force of the previous government is facing a major economic crunch under the Taliban leadership. On Pakistan’s role he was of the view that Pakistan wants a friendly government and it should not repeat the past mistakes and that Islamabad needs to recalibrate its new role. At the moment, Afghanistan is facing several crises and Pakistan has an important role in overcoming them. Anti-Afghan sentiment among the public on both sides should be dealt with carefully, he concluded.

Mr. Hassan Khan said that Afghanistan is going through a very tough time and it is high time for the Afghan leadership to understand that now is the time to advocate for a peaceful Afghanistan. Regional countries are united in the belief that there should be stability and peace in Afghanistan. At this stage it is very important for the Taliban leadership to understand the demands of the international community. The group has to understand that they cannot fight the international processes and their responsibility is to serve and govern the Afghans, not through guns and bullets but in a softer, nuanced way.

On Pakistan’s role he said no doubt that Pakistan is a key stakeholder and partner in the Afghanistan conflict. Pakistan has made a lot of bad decisions in the past and it needs to realise its responsibility. There is a perception in the Afghan youth that Pakistan had a part to play in Afghanistan’s destruction. This narrative needs to change. Going with the international community is in the best interest of Pakistan at this stage.

Pakistan should follow what the international community is demanding from it. He also said that Pakistan should make institutional mechanisms to deal with the situation, normalize trade and open the borders. While talking about the concerns related to the security and terrorism he said that the Taliban will never sever relations with the TTP. Pakistan has an opportunity to play a part as good neighbours and explore new avenues in Afghanistan for increasing the bilateral relationship in a positive way.

In his concluding remarks, Ambassador Khalid Mahmood said that it is very clear that Pakistan and Afghanistan are closely bonded together and they have rightly been called as conjoined twins. It is in the best interest of Pakistan that peace returns to Afghanistan. He said that an inclusive political setup is important to have peace in the country and to deal with the emerging humanitarian and economic crisis which is emerging. Pakistan should do every possible thing to bring peace in the country by facilitating trade, border management and ensuring counter terrorism activities.

He said that the Taliban government has certain responsibilities which include honouring their promises and commitments. But at the same time we should not be impatient in this regard because it will take time for them to deliver. He highlighted that instead of consolidating peace and stability, previous power holders had gone for regime change which was a wrong approach. Pakistan along with the international community should play a role as facilitator to bring peace in the country. The Taliban may have won the war but now they have to win the country by facilitating peace and stability in the country, he concluded.
