Talks to begin after Taliban leaders reach Kabul

KABUL (Pajhwok): The Hezb-i-Islami Afghanistan (HIA) says formal talks between political leaders and Taliban will begin once Taliban leaders reach Kabul.

Recent meetings held between the two sides after Taliban’s entry into Kabul were informal, Gulbadin Hekmatyar said in an interview.

The Taliban had evinced an interest in setting up an inclusive and broad-based government in Afghanistan, the veteran jihadi leader told a private TV channel.

Violence against Afghan civilians at the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul was not acceptable, he told TOLOnews.

Dr. Abdullah Abdullah and former president Hamid Karzai have been in contact with the Taliban on a future political set-up.
