Afghanistan- Khalilzad in Qatar for seventh round of Taliban talks
(MENAFN- Afghanistan Times) AT News Report
KABUL:The US special envoy for Afghan peace, Zalmay
Khalilzad arrived Friday in Doha, capital of the Persian Gulf state of Qatar to
resume the seventh round of negotiations with Taliban representatives over
peace in Afghanistan.
He has reportedly held an unofficial meeting with the
militant negotiators prior to formal talks.
A Taliban Spokesman, Suhail Shaeen said this week that the
US had agreed of complete drawdown from Afghanistan and that it would 'never
interfere' in Afghanistan affairs.
Khalilzad denied Shaheen's statements, saying that
Washington was seeking a 'comprehensive peace in Afghanistan, not a
withdrawal'.
The US and Taliban are apparently negotiating on the
military pullout from the war-hit country and a guarantee from Taliban that
Afghanistan would not be used again by international terrorist networks to
threaten the US and its allies in Europe.
