As the end game in Afghanistan is fast approaching, US Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad arrived in Afghanistan’s capital Kabul on Sunday for talks on ways to push the fragile peace process forward.
Pakistan has also intensified consultations with the Afghan leaders, days after Prime Minister Imran Khan announced to seek a political solution in Afghanistan before the withdrawal of foreign forces to avoid a civil war.
Afghan President’s Special Envoy for Pakistan Mohammad Umer Daudzai on Sunday welcomed Imran Khan’s statement.
“I welcome PM @ImranKhanPTI ‘s reiterated commitment to facilitate reaching a political settlement in #Afghanistan before the completion of the US-led forces withdrawal. People of Afghanistan are anxiously waiting to see practical and result-based steps. Thank you PM Khan,” Daudzai wrote on Twitter.
