7th round of US-Taliban negotiations on June 29

KABUL will take place on June 29 in Doha.

Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad tweeted on Sunday: “We’ll start the next round of talks on Jun 29. Based on my recent visits to Afghanistan and Qatar, I believe all sides want rapid progress.”

American and Taliban representatives have held six rounds of talks in the Qatari capital on how to end decades of conflict in Afghanistan. The sixth round concluded earlier last month.

Khalilzad said the sixth round of talks made steady but slow progress on the aspects of the framework for ending the war in Afghanistan.
