S. Peace envoy and asked him about how things have gone. This week is the 7th round of talks how do you feel about the progress between yourselves and the taliban so far very good been the best round so far can you put a percentage number on the progress youve made this week i rather not do that.

Would draw all of foreign troops which is important for the taleban.

All over afghanistan but i do believe that they are there are they representative of the leadership they make the point that they are quite united and what the leadership decide they will one follows we will have to see what kind of guarantees can you give to the Afghan People that a lot of the achievements that they have seen with with freedom of press and womens rights over the last 20 years will be retained and a new political system that involves the taliban. They need to. Learn about each other the taliban say they have to change that afghans need to know this new taliban of to see what has changed and the taliban need to know what this new afghanistan is like and reach some broader understanding mutual acceptance the terms of an agreement about the future will be negotiated in the interest and negotiations but i believe this is a necessary for a step so im delighted that taking place.
