Long wars can end in one of three ways: unconditional surrender and an imposed peace; a conditional settlement, such as in Korea or Vietnam; or a diplomatic solution that reconciles all of the concerned parties’ interests. If South Asia is to begin to build a future of peace and prosperity, the latter option is the only viable way forward.
长期战争可以通过三种方式结束：无条件投降和强迫和平；有条件和解（如朝鲜战争和越南战争）；以及协调各方利益的外交手段。如果南亚想踏上未来的和平和繁荣之路，最后一种方式是唯一可行的办法。
