Intra-Afghan talks to begin in less than two weeks in Qatar: sources

Afghan Voice Agency(AVA) , 21 Jun 2020 - 18:25

Intra-Afghan peace negotiations will start in less than two weeks in Qatar, sources told 1TV on Thursday.



Officials, however, said that a specific date has not been set yet.
Gran Hewad, a spokesman for Afghanistan Foreign Ministry, said that all technical preparations have been taken for the talks.
He confirmed that the first intra-Afghan talks meeting will be held in Qatar.
The US-Taliban agreement had scheduled the intra-Afghan talks to begin on March 10, but they were delayed due to disagreement over prisoner releases which were included in the deal as a confidence building measure ahead of talks.
Earlier this month, President Ashraf Ghani said that “the ceasefire, prisoners release, and reduction in violence has created a momentum for the talks to begin soon and the government is fully ready.”
