Pakistan PM to meet Taliban leaders soon: aide

Afghan Voice Agency(AVA) , 4 Jul 2019 - 11:35

Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan will meet Taliban leaders soon for the peaceful resolution of the Afghan crisis, his aide said on Wednesday.



This comes as earlier in March, Khan said he had cancelled a scheduled meeting with Taliban leaders because of objections by the Afghan government.
Addressing a conference in Islamabad, Khan’s Special Assistant Naeem-ul-Haq said that the Afghan government has shown consent for the upcoming meeting with Taliban, state-run Radio Pakistan reported.
He said that Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s recent visit helped build confidence between the two countries.
U.S. and Taliban officials have held several rounds of talks to end the 17-year war, but the group has refused to deal directly with the Afghan government.
