U.S. envoy: United States, Taliban reach draft agreement in peace talks


(Worthy News) – The United States and the Taliban have reached a draft agreement on counter-terrorism assurances and troop withdrawal in a step toward ending the 17-year-long war, U.S. presidential envoy Zalmay Khalilzad said Tuesday.

Khalilzad wrote on Twitter that “the conditions for peace have improved” after a round of talks with Taliban leaders in Qatar’s capital, Dohar, as the two sides had agreed on two of the four issues needed to end the conflict.

“Peace requires agreement on four issues: counter-terrorism assurances, troop withdrawal, intra-Afghan dialogue, and a comprehensive ceasefire,” he wrote. “In January talks, we ‘agreed in principle’ on these four elements. We’re now ‘agreed in draft’ on the first two.” [ Source: UPI (Read More…) ]
