BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Resistance is a source of power for Lebanon that must be preserved.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" must implement the agreement as Lebanon has already done so, and any new accord would amount to absolving it and opening the door to further attacks.
Sheikh Qassem: We do not wish to assume anyone's role; those accusing us of this must cease their accusations.
Sheikh Qassem: We will recover our lands through national solidarity; Resistance's goal is national liberation, while enemy goal is occupation.
Sheikh Qassem: Protection of sovereignty protects Lebanon. It is in real danger because of US belligerence, greedy Israeli expansion.
Qassem to Lebanese people: We are not asking for support but for us not to be stabbed in the back in the back or for some to serve Israeli interests; government is primary party responsible for [preservation of] sovereignty.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" can occupy, but it cannot persist in occupation of our land.
Sheikh Qassem: Intimidation will not change our stance of resistance and steadfastness. We are not advocates of surrender or defeat, and we will never accept it.
Sheikh Qassem: Where does US stand regarding enemy's unjustified assassination of a government worker and other civilian martyrs?
Sheikh Qassem: Is the Lebanese Army's defense of its land and citizens an accusation [leveled against it]? Where does US stand regarding the enemy's killing of civilians and constant destruction?

The joint statement also said the participants confirmed the importance of forming an inclusive Afghan government that "adequately reflects the interests of all major ethnopolitical forces in the country."

The Foreign Ministry also clarified that taking into account the deteriorating economic and humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, the international community must mobilize efforts to provide assistance to the Afghan people in the reconstruction of the country.

The participants also proposed the launch of an UN-sponsored international donor conference, "with the understanding that the core burden of post-conflict economic and financial reconstruction and development of Afghanistan must be shouldered by troop-based actors which were in the country for the past 20 years."

Representatives from Russia, China, Pakistan, Iran, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan attended the meeting, in addition to a senior Taliban delegation.

The Talks

The Russian Foreign Ministry had announced Tuesday that the goal behind the Moscow talks was to enhance the efforts of the international community to prevent a humanitarian crisis.

President Vladimir Putin and other senior Russian officials have been vocal about their concerns over Afghanistan after the Taliban assumed power and foreign forces withdrew after a 20-year invasion.
