Chicago Conference 

Chicago: The Communiqué of Chicago Conference has been released which says that Pakistan’s role is very important in ensuring lasting peace, stability and security in Afghanistan and in facilitating the completion of the transition process.

The  Communiqué released hours after Nato leaders met at McCormick Place in Chicago.

North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) says it is working with Pakistan to reopen supply routes as soon as possible.

The participating leaders said that “We stand ready to continue dialogue and practical cooperation with relevant regional actors in this regard. We welcome the progress on transit arrangements with our Central Asian partners and Russia.”

“Nato is ready to work towards establishing, at the request of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, a new post-2014 mission of a different nature in Afghanistan, to train, advise and assist the ANSF, including the Afghan Special Operations Forces. This will not be a combat mission. We task the council to begin immediately work on the military planning process for the post-ISAF mission,” said the declaration.
