KABUL - The National Unity Government (NUG) has pursued an effective foreign policy track over the past two years and Afghanistan is no longer an isolated country, said the president's deputy spokesman Shahhussain Murtazawi on Saturday.
Analysts have also said the NUG has managed to forge a united front against Pakistan in the international arena over the past two years, terming it a major gain for the leaders.
Afghanistan's bilateral relations have expanded unprecedentedly with foreign countries except Pakistan, said Murtazawi.
The NUG also managed to mend ties with Washington which had been badly damaged during the Karzai administration.
Besides mending ties with Afghanistan's key ally the U.S, the NUG leaders also defined new policies to extend ties with the Russian Federation and China.
"This indicates that Afghanistan is no longer an isolated country, but on the focal point of all countries and international institutions," said Murtazawi.
"We can forge better ties with Russia besides having a security agreement with America, we can also forge good relations with China and India," said political analyst Hekmatullah Shahbaz.
According to political analysts, the NUG leaders succeeded in isolating Pakistan in the international sphere.
"Initially the national unity government tried to benchmark Pakistan's honest cooperation with the Afghan government, but later it was revealed that Pakistan was not an honest country, in the wake of those efforts, Kabul then launched extensive efforts to forge an international consensus against Pakistan," said political analyst Hadi Meeran.
This comes just a few days ahead of an international summit on Afghanistan in Brussels where the world will renew its commitments to Afghanistan for another four years. (Tolonews)
