Afghan government suspends its peace efforts until holding the presidential election which is due on September 28 this month, presidential spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said on Saturday.

Speaking at a press conference in Kabul, Mr. Sediqqi said that the future government will lead the Afghan peace process which is a key priority for the nation.
Ghani’s spokesman further said that a legitimate peace deal with the Taliban insurgent group can only come after the election.
Mr. Sediqqi added that there will be a big change in the security situation of the country within the next 10 days.
Afghanistan’s presidential election was widely expected to be delayed under any U.S.-Taliban peace deal.
However, last week President Donald Trump said that the negotiation with the Taliban are dead.
