WASHINGTON (Pajhwok): Defense Secretary Jim Mattis on Wednesday said the US believed there was a way forward for the Taliban to reconcile in an Afghan-led, Afghan-owned reconciliation process.
Mattis told reporters travelling with him to India: “We do expect that we and the international community will support the Afghan government in this, in all ways. And that neighboring countries will.”
Reiterating the ground rules, Mattis saw scope for reconciliation with the Taliban if they renounced terrorism and broke away from ISIS and al Qaeda.
