Afghan Voice Agency(AVA)_Monitoring, In a discussion released on Saturday by US-based investment bank and financial services company Goldman Sachs, Khalilzad said that parts of the US deal with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) have not been implemented.
“Parts of it were implemented, parts are not,” Khalilzad said. “We need to go back and tell the Talibs (IEA) let’s finish the unfinished business.”
“Do we embrace them or do we isolate them? pressure them? Do the right things on human rights, women’s rights and on inclusivity. I think that challenge remains,” Khalilzad said, adding moving towards recognition is not currently on the table.
IEA however said it remains committed to the Doha Agreement.
Bilal Karimi, IEA’s deputy spokesman, said that they have implemented their parts of the agreement and have met the conditions for recognition.
