Geneva Conference on Afghanistan

The Geneva Conference on Afghanistan, held in 1988-1989, was an international effort to find a peaceful resolution to the Soviet-Afghan War. Representatives from Afghanistan, the Soviet Union, the United States, Pakistan, Iran, and others aimed to negotiate a ceasefire, withdrawal of Soviet troops, and a political settlement. The agreement resulted in the Soviet Union ending its military presence, paving the way for a future Afghan government. The conference was a key moment in efforts to stabilize Afghanistan and reduce regional tensions through diplomatic means.
