Project Title
For a U.S.-Russia Joint Working Group on Counterterrorism in Afghanistan

Duration
40 months
Description
Two of the most problematic casualties of tense relations between Russia and the United States are engagement on terrorism, including in Afghanistan, and on Afghanistan more broadly. A project of the EastWest Institute (EWI) seeks to help address the situation by establishing a U.S.-Russia Joint Working Group on Counterterrorism in Afghanistan. The project will create a conduit for sustained engagement between the two countries, aiming at identifying critical challenges and possible approaches to them. The project will build on EWI’s earlier U.S.-Russia Joint Working Group on Afghan Narco-Trafficking, which brought together well-credentialed U.S. and Russian experts to assess threats and propose solutions. EWI will use the previous template as a model to produce a high-quality threat assessment, with analysis and recommendations aimed at policy officials in both countries.
