Taliban Confirms Afghan Peace Meetings with Pakistan, China, Others
WASHINGTON, Jan 25 (INP) Taliban political officials say they have submitted a report to their top leadership after concluding interactions with officials in Pakistan and representatives from other nations, including China and Qatar, on finding a solution to the Afghan war.
The announcement has rekindled hope an Afghan peace process could take root before this year's summer fighting.
In a Pashto-language statement circulated to media, the Islamist insurgency confirmed for the first time that a five-member delegation from the Taliban’s Qatar-based Political Office recently travelled to Islamabad and held talks with officials there.
