Afghanistan: Peace and Prosperity for the People and a Test Case for NATO
As a follow-up to the Paris Conference, the Friedrich Ebert Foundation in Canada and The North-South Institute co-organized a panel discussion on state and peacebuilding in Afghanistan.
The discussion addressed key challenges of the current reconstruction and stabilization efforts in Afghanistan such as resurgent violence and weakening international support and will explore measures to achieving peace in Afghanistan.
This forum was also an opportunity to engage public opinion on ways to improve cooperation between Canada and Germany during the peacebuilding process in Afghnaistan.
