SUMMARY:The Future of Regional Engagement with Afghanistan and the Taliban
DESCRIPTION:Following the U.S. and NATO withdrawal from Afghanistan\, the T
 aliban now control the vast majority of Afghan territory and the machinery
  of government. The country is still highly reliant on outside aid\, most 
 of which is suspended. Many countries have chosen to shutter their diploma
 tic missions\, with only China\, Iran\, Pakistan\, Russia\, and a handful 
 of smaller regional countries maintaining embassies and consulates. How wi
 ll these countries interact with a new Taliban-led government? What levera
 ge might they exert and to what end? What does the regionally-led diplomac
 y mean for the United States?  Join a discussion with Ambassador Omar Sama
 d\, who served as Afghan ambassador to Canada and France\; Yun Sun\, who i
 s a senior Fellow and Co-Director of the East Asia Program and Director of
  the China program at the Stimson Center\; Ibraheem Bahiss\, who serves as
  a consultant for the International Crisis Group and has a granular unders
 tanding of the contemporary Taliban\; and Zahid Hussain\, a distinguished 
 Pakistani journalist and author of several books on Afghanistan and Pakist
 an. The conversation will be moderated by QI’s Anatol Lieven.
