Afghanistan aware of US-Taliban talks
We are aware of all US efforts to support Afghanistan's peace process, a spokesman for Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), Janan Musazai said Sunday. 

Speaking at a press conference in Kabul, Mr Musazai added that Afghan government has prioritized peace negotiations and will continue its efforts to bring Taliban in to peace dialogue.
He also said that US government is going forward in close collaboration with Afghan government in its peace efforts. 

Recent reports indicated that US special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, Marc Grossman will travel to Qatar to hold talks with Taliban representatives in an effort to end over a decade long war in Afghanistan. 

"We are aware of all US peace efforts and they are in close collaboration with Afghan government. Peace process is one of the government's priorities and we will continue our national efforts." Mr Musazai told reporters in Kabul. 

Despite opposing US permanent military bases in Afghanistan, Foreign Ministry believes that Russia could play a major role in bringing stability in the region. 

"We have friendly ties with Russia." He added, saying that it's unclear whether Afghanistan will sign a strategic pact with Russia or not. 

In an effort to seek regional support from Afghan peace process, Salahuddin Rabbani, Head of Afghan High Peace Council, will travel to Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
