India, China and Russia have supported the political transition in Afghanistan through the presidential elections and security transition from International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) to the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF).
"The security transition should be accompanied by adequate measures for increasing the ANSF capacity so that the ANSF should be capable to provide security for all the country and population of Afghanistan," said the joint communique of the 13th meeting of the Foreign Ministers of Russia, India and China.
"The Ministers affirmed their support for broad and inclusive peace and reconciliation in Afghanistan that is Afghan-led and Afghan-owned, as well as to help Afghanistan's integration into the region through its expanded trade and transport networks and regional connectivity," the joint statement added.
The Foreign Ministers of the three sides stressed that it is important for the international community to remain engaged in Afghanistan and fulfill its long-term commitments on civilian and security assistance.
"They supported the core coordinating role of the United Nations in promoting peace and stability in Afghanistan. The Ministers highly valued the positive results of the Fourth Ministerial Meeting of the Istanbul Process in Beijing, which contributed to strengthen regional cooperation and facilitate peace, rehabilitation and economic reconstruction in Afghanistan," the joint communique said.
"Russia, India and China stressed their commitment to implementing the Beijing Declaration for security and prosperity in Afghanistan and the region," the joint communique added.
