	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2018 answer text <p>​The British Government is committed to an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace and reconciliation process. Civilian casualties are a tragic result of the ongoing insurgency and of terrorist attacks, including by ISKP. We continue to urge all sides to take all measures possible to avoid civilian casualties. It is vital that the lives of civilians must be protected. A political solution is the only way to achieve lasting peace and stability in Afghanistan and the region. The Afghan Government has shown an impressive commitment to peace. It is time for the Taleban's leaders to show true courage and true leadership and work for peace.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 15/11/2018 14:49:20 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
