Merci, and thank you very much.

Mr. Bland, all conflicts will end through negotiation; no conflict will ever end without negotiation.

My question is for Professor Dorn.

This conflict doesn't seem to show any signs of finishing soon. Knowing all the interrelated regional issues that involve and impact on Afghanistan, would you not say it is the time now for all the international communities through the UN to start real diplomatic talks that would include the P-5, with Pakistan, India, Iran, and for sure Afghanistan?
