巴基斯坦军方领导层正式要求负责审查阿富汗战争的美国国会委员会在评估过程中充分考虑伊斯兰堡方面对这场冲突的描述。这一要求是由巴基斯坦军方新闻机构“Inter-Services Public Relations”(ISPR)在周一发布的。该声明是在拉瓦尔品第的军方总部举行的一次高级别会议后作出的。会上,由沙米拉·N·乔杜里(Shamila N. Chaudhary)女士和科林·F·杰克逊(Colin F. Jackson)博士共同领导的美国阿富汗战争委员会代表团会见了巴基斯坦陆军参谋长阿西姆·穆尼尔(Asim Munir)将军。
Pakistan's military leadership has formally urged an American congressional panel reviewing the Afghan war to incorporate Islamabad's account of the conflict into its evaluation, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) confirmed on Monday. The statement followed a high-level meeting at General Headquarters in Rawalpindi, where a delegation of the US Afghanistan War Commission led by co-chairs Ms. Shamila N. Chaudhary and Dr. Colin F. Jackson called on the Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defense Forces, Field Marshal Asim Munir.
乔杜里是一位外交政策专家,曾在美国国家安全委员会和国务院任职,专注于巴基斯坦和阿富汗事务;杰克逊则是海军战争学院的教授,曾任美国国防部负责阿富汗、巴基斯坦和中亚事务的副部长。据ISPR报道,会议主要讨论了巴基斯坦在阿富汗战争期间所提供的支持、地区安全形势以及阿富汗国内的发展动态。巴基斯坦军方领导人强调,巴基斯坦在长期冲突中承受了巨大的安全压力,并表示对阿富汗战争的任何评估都应考虑到地区因素。
Chaudhary is a foreign policy expert with prior service on the National Security Council and State Department, specializing in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and Jackson is a Naval War College professor and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia. According to the ISPR, discussions centered on Pakistan's historical support, regional security dynamics, and developments inside Afghanistan. Military leaders stressed the heavy security burden Pakistan faced during the prolonged conflict, saying any assessment of the war must also consider regional perspectives.
作为回应,美国代表团承认了巴基斯坦长期以来为地区稳定所做的贡献,尽管巴基斯坦目前正面临着由自己五年前协助推上台的塔利班政权所带来的严重安全挑战。该委员会是根据美国国会2022年《国防授权法案》成立的,由两党成员组成,旨在全面评估美国在2001年至2021年间对阿富汗的军事干预行动。该委员会仿照9/11事件调查委员会的运作模式进行工作,由16名成员组成,负责评估相关战略决策并为未来的军事行动提供政策建议。
US acknowledgment of Pakistani contributions to regional stabilityIn response, the visiting US delegation acknowledged Islamabad's longstanding sacrifices and its continued contributions to regional stability, even as Pakistan grapples with the sharp security blowback from the Taliban regime it helped bring to power five years ago. Established by the US Congress under the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act, the bipartisan Afghanistan War Commission is conducting a comprehensive review of America's 20-year involvement in Afghanistan (2001–2021). Modeled after the 9/11 Commission, the 16-member panel evaluates strategic decisions and formulates policy lessons for future engagements.
伊斯兰堡方面对这场冲突的叙述强调,巴基斯坦是美国反恐战争中的关键盟友,在美国主导的入侵阿富汗及随后长达20年的阿富汗战争中,提供了至关重要的后勤支持、补给路线和反恐合作,同时自身承受了沉重的人员和安全代价。巴基斯坦一贯主张,尽管其为支持地区稳定作出了努力,但阿富汗塔利班控制的领土日益成为被禁的反巴基斯坦武装组织的庇护所,尤其是“巴基斯坦塔利班运动”(TTP),伊斯兰堡指责该组织从阿富汗境内策划并对巴基斯坦发动袭击。
Islamabad's account of the conflict emphasizes that Pakistan was a key US ally in the war on terror, providing critical logistical support, supply routes and counterterrorism cooperation during the US-led invasion and subsequent 20-year war in Afghanistan, while itself bearing a heavy human and security cost. Pakistan has consistently maintained that, despite its efforts to support regional stability, territory controlled by the Afghan Taliban has increasingly provided sanctuary to banned anti-Pakistan militant groups, particularly theTehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which Islamabad accuses of planning and launching attacks inside Pakistan from Afghan soil.
巴基斯坦已多次在国际论坛上提出这一关切,而联合国安理会最近的一份监测报告发现,塔利班对TTP的支持导致巴基斯坦境内武装袭击的频率和致命性上升。因此,伊斯兰堡认为,塔利班于2021年重新掌权后,巴基斯坦的安全环境显著恶化,跨境武装活动和袭击不断加剧。巴方表示,巴基斯坦的经验和安全关切应成为评估美国阿富汗战争不可或缺的一部分。
Pakistan has repeatedly presented this concern to international forums, and a recent UN Security Council monitoring report found that Taliban support for the TTP had contributed to an increase in the frequency and lethality of militant attacks in Pakistan. Islamabad therefore argues that the Taliban's return to power in 2021 has been followed by a significant deterioration in Pakistan's security environment, with cross-border militancy and attacks intensifying. It says Pakistan's experience and security concerns should form an integral part of any assessment of the US war in Afghanistan.
伊斯兰堡对阿富汗境内用于协调和执行无人机袭击的恐怖分子藏身处发动精确跨境空袭仅数天后,便与“美国阿富汗战争委员会”进行了这场高风险的接触。
The high-stakes engagement with the US Afghanistan War Commission unfolded mere days after Islamabad launched precision cross-border airstrikes against terrorist hideouts inside Afghanistan used to coordinate and execute drone attacks.
