The Taliban and rival Afghan parties “promise to reduce violence” following the second and final day of intra-Afghan peace talks in Doha on Monday, according to the German envoy.
“The appeal and promise to reduce violence in Afghanistan” was the most significant part of a joint statement issued at the gathering, AFP quoted Germany’s Afghanistan envoy Markus Potzel as saying.
A Qatari official has announced the “success” of Afghan peace talks held this week in Doha, the Qatari Foreign Ministry said in a statement published on Tuesday. “We are very pleased today to reach a joint statement as a first step to peace,” said Mutlaq bin Majid Al Qahtan, Qatar’s special envoy for conflict mediation.
US and Taliban officials will on Tuesday resume talks in Qatar aimed at ending the 18-year war, hours after a delegation of Afghan citizens and the militants ended a meeting with both sides calling for an end to civilian casualties, Reuters reports.
