Salaam Times

BAMIYAN -- Senior Central Asian officials are meeting for a two-day conference, organised by the Afghanistan Strategic Studies Institute to improve trade and regional co-operation in fighting terrorism, TOLO News reported.

The two-day session of the fourth conference of the Afghanistan-Central Asia dialogue started Friday (July 14). Participants are discussing mechanisms to improve Afghanistan’s trade and political ties with the Central Asian countries.

"All regional countries must take part in the fight against terrorists," said Afghan government Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah, who attended the meeting.

"There are no good terrorists as opposed to bad terrorists," he said, rejecting the idea of differentiating among the various factions fighting in Afghanistan.

The Taliban machine-gunned and blew up historic Buddha statues in 2001 in Bamiyan.
