<p>PESHAWAR (Pajhwok): The <a href="/en/taliban" class="glossify-link">Taliban</a> see no possibility of negotiations with India before the beginning of intra-Afghan talks, a Pakistani newspaper reported on Monday.</p>
<p>Like the United States, Russia recently urged India to speak to the Taliban on the future government in <a href="/en/afghanistan" class="glossify-link">Afghanistan</a>, The News International said, citing diplomatic sources.</p>
<p>Moscow impressed upon New Delhi to play its role in ensuing peace parley among different Afghan factions, the newspaper added.</p>
<p>“A breakthrough is likely to take place on the question of intra-Afghan talks that will pave the way for enduring peace … in the war-torn country,” it said.</p>
<p>The venue for intra-Afghan dialogue would be chosen in a day as US Special Representative Zalmay Khalilzad has arrived in the region. The envoy will also visit <a href="/en/afganistan/kabul" class="glossify-link">Kabul</a>.</p>
<p>The long-awaited intra-Afghan dialogue may take place in Doha, which hosted successful negotiations talks between the Taliban and the United States.</p>
<p>The Taliban, President Ashraf Ghani and Dr. Abdullah have reportedly accorded their consent to the talks, which are likely to commence next week.</p>
<p><a href="/en/pakistan" class="glossify-link">Pakistan</a>’s newly-appointed special envoy Mohammad Sadiq hoped talks would yield results sooner than expected.</p>
