KABUL - The new round of talks between the US and Taliban will enter third day today (Monday) in Doha, the capital of Qatari.
The United States and Taliban resumed peace talks in Doha on Saturday -- almost two months after President Donald Trump abruptly halted the process.
Spokesman for Taliban’s Qatar office Sohail Shaheen told Pajhwok Afghan News the two sides discussed a range of issues over the past two days of talks.
He said Taliban negotiators were led by Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar while the US team was headed by Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad.
Included among Taliban negotiator was Anas Haqqani, who was recently released from Bagram prison. Gen. Scott Miller also attended the negotiations.
After the peace deal, Taliban would facilitate US pullout and stop attacking American forces, Shaheen explained.
The Taliban would also stop attacks on Afghan forces after reaching an agreement with Kabul in intra-Afghan talks, Shaheen told BBC.
Earlier, the US special envoy met President Ashraf Ghani and other political figures in Kabul, which says a ceasefire is a condition for starting negotiations with the Taliban. (Pajhwok)
