KABUL (Pajhwok): The government peace-negotiating team’s departure for Qatar, scheduled for today, has been delayed to Tuesday for technical reasons.

After 80 days of discussions between the Taliban and government representatives in Doha, the two sides agreed on procedural rules for peace talks.

The negotiating teams rose for a recess on December 12 for a period of three weeks to discuss fresh developments and decide on future negotiations.

The negotiators were scheduled to travel to Qatar today (Monday) but a source in the State Ministry for Peace and a member of the negotiating team told Pajhwok Afghan News the trip to Doha had been delayed due to technical issues.

Fauzia Kofi, who is part of the negotiating team, told reporters in Kabul they would travel to Doha tomorrow (Tuesday) for the second phase of talks.
