NEW DELHI: US special envoy for Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, on Friday discussed the latest developments in the Afghan peace process with Indian foreign minister S Jaishankar. “@US4AfghanPeace called to update on recent Afghan developments.
Shared the Indian perspective. Our historical friendship with this close neighbour will always guide our Afghan policy," Jaishankar said in a Twitter post.
The Taliban and the US signed a peace deal on 29 February paving the way for talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban.
But the process was complicated by former president Ashraf Ghani and Afghanistan’s former chief executive officer Abdullah Abdullah, both staking claim to the presidency.
