Context:- Peace process in afghanistan, as USA wants withdrawal of it’s forces in sept 11, now will take place in Istanbul. Parties will be Afghanistan, Turkey, China, Taliban, pakistan and a peripheral participator india. In this context some issues and interest which are along the lins:-

Interest:-

China wants its xinxiang province safe. Some way or the other USA presence kept a check on the terrorist which were a threat to china.
Pakistan got benefit of military, money by the presence of USA
Russia which is also a key player, USA presence checked extremism in the central asia which is the backyard of Russia
India also benefited as it helped in curbing the extremism in kashmir.

Issue:-

The Taliban which was born in Pakistan now has different patronage. Taliban’s legitimacy is being increased by the Iran, Russia, China, Turkey and the godfather pakistan.
Withdrawal by USA will hit the china, now china has to make more effort in xinxiang.
- India:- to check extremism in kashmir
Ghani government dont want to share the power with the taliban
Taliban which is a terrorist group is somewhere keen in fragile afghanistan
In the upcoming months fragility will increase
Issue of on table negotiation:- as taliban knows that USA will withdraw from afghanistan by itself in the spetmber then they may not negotiate a favourable deal to USA
Taliban will be favourable to pakistan then india
