Afghanistan's relations with the rest of the world – including the regional and international organisations – after 2014 will be based on the signed pacts, Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Sunday.
The ministry has stated that the special situation in Afghanistan over the past years caused the country's foreign policy priorities and the manner of cooperation with other countries to be independent of each other.
Over the past few years, the administration and country's diplomats have made contradictory foreign policy remarks. This has led to rocky relations between Afghanistan and a number of countries, some of them Afghanistan's close allies. This inconsistency has also opened the government to domestic criticism.
But now, the government is seemingly seeking to formulate a more coherent strategy.
"The purpose is to codify, as a document, the strategic plan of the Foreign Ministry for the next three years. Views and remarks from ambassadors and general councilors will be obtained," said Janan Moosazai, ministry spokesman.
A large number of Afghan ambassadors and other diplomats have converged in Kabul to offer their input in a three-day conference.
"This strategy will improve the country's relations and, following the codification, its draft will be sent to the Council of Ministers and the parliament for final decision-making," Moosazai said.
A different draft of the country's foreign policy had earlier been sent to parliament for approval, but it hasn't been approved yet.
"Afghanistan's foreign policy [draft] is stalled at the parliament and they are trying to codify new policies. In my opinion, this act by the government is very distressing," said Masooda Karokhil, Herat MP.
