US envoy for Afghan peace in Kabul for talks on Taliban
KABUL – U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation Zalmay Khalilzad has arrived at the capital Kabul.
An embassy statement confirmed Sunday that Khalilzad had arrived in Kabul as a part of a multi-stop visit to the region.
The State Department had earlier announced that Khalilzad’s mission is to co-ordinate and lead U.S. efforts to bring the Taliban to the negotiating table, and that he will lead an interagency delegation to Afghanistan, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia from October 4-14.
A former ambassador to Afghanistan, this is Khalilzad’s first visit to the country in his new role.
