| Summary |
This report explores some of the key dimensions of the development of this relationship. Since 2001, the state-to-state relationship has developed additional dimensions - diplomatic, military, developmental, and humanitarian - which have been augmented by significant people-to-people ties despite all the difficulties that surround travel between the two countries. Yet for all this, what ultimately binds the two countries together is that Australia has a strong interest in seeing the transition in Afghanistan that was inaugurated in 2001 - a complex mixture of statebuilding, institutional development, economic change, civil society activism, and enhancement of human rights and freedoms - continue down the broad path that was laid out at that time. A failure in Afghanistan is likely to involve serious adverse strategic consequences for Australia |
