United States (US) Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation Zalmay Khalilzad on Thursday confirmed that they had made significant progress on two vital issues, counter terrorism and troop withdrawal during the recent round of US-Taliban talks in Doha.
Zalmay Khalilzad said in a tweet, “That doesn’t mean we’re done. We’re not even finished with these issues yet, and there is still work to be done on other vital issues like intra-Afghan dialogue and a complete ceasefire.”
He said that the path to peace did not often run in a straight line and added that the situation in Afghanistan was complex and like all sensitive talks. The US envoy said that everything could not be disclosed in public.
