New York, September 27, 2025 — In a significant diplomatic engagement on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, the foreign ministers of Pakistan, Russia, China, and Iran have once again voiced their collective support for Afghanistan’s sovereignty, unity, and long-term stability.
The fourth Quadripartite Meeting, held in New York, stressed the importance of fostering Afghanistan as an independent and peaceful state. The ministers highlighted that regional cooperation remains vital to ensuring stability in the war-torn country and called for stronger efforts to uplift its struggling economy.
Discussions also centered on the need for sustained economic engagement with Kabul, with all four nations underscoring that isolation would only worsen the hardships faced by ordinary Afghans. Beyond trade and development, the ministers pressed the international community to step up humanitarian aid, particularly emergency relief, to address the ongoing crisis that has left millions vulnerable.
The joint statement reflects a shared recognition among the regional powers that Afghanistan’s peace and stability are not only essential for its own people but also critical for broader regional security and economic integration.
