The second Afghanistan Pakistan Progressive Parties two days Conference will be held in Lahore on 6/7th October
The conference will be attended by the representatives of progressive groups and parties from Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The conference will assert our common understanding, based on a clear-headed analysis of power relations, that the major problems in Afghanistan are its occupation by NATO in collaboration with local warlords, the extremely regressive role of the ultra-fundamentalist Taliban movement and the resultant chronic interference in Afghanistan’s internal affairs by Pakistan & Iran.
The growing incidents of violence both by the religious fundamentalist groups and NATO forces have created very complicated circumstances for the progressive forces of the region. There is dire need to discuss the experiences of each other in formal and informal meetings of the progressive parties of the two countries.
As agreed last year, after a very successful two days conference of the progressive parties in Lahore [1] and AfPak left-wing parties to work together for peace, AfPak left-wing parties to work together for peace.]], they are once again organizing this two days conference.
We hope that this conference will an important role in bringing more closer the progressive forces in the region to struggle against imperialist aggression, occupation and rise of religious fundamentalism.
The two days conference will be attended by representatives of Solidarity Party Afghanistan, Afghan Labour Revolutionary Organisation and others from Afghanistan, while from Pakistan representatives of Labour Party Pakistan, Workers Party Pakistan, Awami Party Pakistan and other social and trade union activists will participate in this important initiative. The conference will give more attention to the participation of women from these progressive parties and groups.
