Pakistan, China, US Join Afghan Peace Talks In Kabul

Pakistan, China, US join Afghan peace talks in Kabul
 Afghanistan, Pakistan, China and the United States started a second round of talks on Monday aimed at laying the ground for a negotiated end to almost 15 years of war between US-supported government forces and Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan.
Representatives from the four countries met in Kabul to revive a peace process that collapsed last summer.
Any further delay by the Taliban “to come to the table for talks now will further isolate them in the eyes of the Afghan people”, Afghan Foreign Minister Salahuddin Rabbani said in his opening remarks.
Pakistan’s Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry is in Kabul to attend the quadrilateral meeting. This is the second round of the four-nation dialogue. A previous round of talks took place in Islamabad a week ago.
The ultimate goal of the diplomatic manoeuvring is to get representatives of the Afghan government and the Taliban into direct negotiations on the country´s future.
The Taliban, which now controls or contests more territory than at any time since it was ousted by a US-led intervention in 2001, will not attend the talks.
Taliban forces have stepped up their campaign in the last year to topple the Kabul government, which has struggled since most foreign troops left at the end of 2014. High-profile suicide attacks and Taliban territorial gains in Helmand province have underlined how far Afghanistan remains from peace.
Afghanistan’s chief negotiator said last week that the talks on Monday would focus on creating a peace plan to persuade the Taliban to give up violence.
Although the Afghan army and the Taliban are intensifying fighting on the battlefield, a political settlement is seen as the most likely solution to the conflict.

Afghanistan will hold postponed parliamentary elections in October, the chief election official said on Monday. Parliament’s five-year term expired last June, but elections were postponed because of security fears. There were also disagreements on how to ensure a fair vote after a disputed presidential election in 2014. President Ashraf Ghani issued a decree last year extending parliament’s mandate until a vote could be held, with critics questioning whether the extension was legal. The elections will now be held on October 15, Reuters quoted Ahmad Yousuf Nuristani, the head of the election commission, as saying.

Instituto Cervantes, Sala de exposiciones, a las 7:00 p.m.Exposición: “Detrás del paisaje” por Miguel Ángel García 
Sinopsis: En el arte, uno de los temas mas frecuentes es sin duda el paisaje. Pero ¿hay que entender éste como un espacio inerte, ideológicamente neutro o como algo dinámico, cambiante, subjetivizado por la mirada del artista y del espectador? En el mundo contemporáneo el paisaje es una construcción mental, intelectual, donde factores culturales y estéticos ayudan a conformar una determinada visión del territorio. Y precisamente porque el paisaje “se construye”, hay que considerar las múltiples lecturas que pueden surgir a partir del mismo espacio físico, los diferentes planos de análisis o intelectualización del territorio, la subjetividad de la mirada. El territorio está formado por elementos, objetos y espacios, está ahí aunque nadie lo mire. El paisaje, sin embargo, es lo que es porque lo miramos de una determinada manera, con una intención intelectual, estética y social. La exposición ‘Detrás del paisaje’ propone detenernos ante una serie de obras que mediante la acumulación de información, el mapeo del territorio o la resignificación de la imagen, bucean más allá de lo evidente y muestran la diversidad de lecturas en un mundo en permanente estado de cambio, enfrentado a sus propias contradicciones. (+)Exhibition: “Behind the landscape” by Miguel Ángel García
Art statement: In art, one of the most common issues is the landscape. But we must understand this as an inert space, ideologically neutral or as dynamic, changing, subjectivized by the look of the artist and the viewer? In the contemporary world the landscape is a mental and intellectual construction, where cultural and aesthetic factors help the vision of the territory. And precisely because the landscape “constructed”, there are so many readings that may arise from the same physical space, the different levels of analysis or intellectualization of the territory. This is the subjectivity of the gaze. The territory is made up of elements, objects and spaces. It is there even if you are not looking it. The landscape, however, is what it is because we look a certain way, with an intellectual intent, aesthetic and social. The exhibition ‘Behind the landscape’ proposes to stop a series of works by accumulating data, mapping the territory or the redefinition of the image, dive beyond the obvious and show the diversity of readings in a world in permanent state rate.(+)

“Celebration of forms to represent my life in France and in India. A combination of two ideas to weave a rich language of cultures”. – Mario d’Souza
Born in Bangalore (India) in 1973, having lived in France for a decade or so, settling around the area of Menetou-Salon, in a house planted in the middle of a vineyard, Mario d’Souza was able to undertake within himself and for himself the necessary cross-fertilization and fusion of cultures and experiences with no obvious affinities in order to produce, over the past two or three years, a truly personal body of work in which thought, sensitivity, intuition, sensuality and even eroticism (admittedly underlying but present everywhere), blend into pleasure into a sort of hymn to life.
The exhibition is on view from 21st Jan till 6th Feb, 2016 everyday from 11am to 7pm
For more information please write to culture@afdelhi.org
Invitation attached. Looking forward to see you !!!
