Kabul and Islamabad to Resume Talks

KABUL - The Hezb-i-Islami Afghanistan (HIA) leader wants the government to nego-tiate with the Taliban, oppos-ing the closure of the insurgent group’s political office in Qa-tar.A statement from HIA said Gul-buddin Hekmatyar expressed the view during a meeting with tribal elders in Kabul.

Closing it would be a wrong step, opposed by HIA, he said.He added the continuing war with the Taliban was not a so-lution as rivals could not be de-feated militarily.

government. He said the cur-rent conflict fruitless for the Afghans, serving the interests of foreigners.The former prime minister called upon Taliban to follow in HIA’s footsteps: reaching a peace deal and shun the insur-gency.Last month, US President Don-

KABUL - According to Jawed Faisal, a deputy spokesman for CEO Abdullah Abdullah, the Pakistani chief of army staff, Qamar Javed Bajwa, assured Af-ghanistan that this time Islamabad will act upon its commitments on certain is-sues. Faisal said this time Pakistan has pledged to abide by its commitments. Meanwhile, a number of lawmakers in parliament said in view of Pakistan’s controversial role in the fight against insurgency, the Afghan government should be vigilant in making sure Paki-stan does not deceive Afghanistan. The breakthrough comes a day after Bajwa visited Kabul where he met top Afghan officials including Afghan Pres-ident Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah. Ac-cording to the Presidential Palace, the two sides discussed issues including that relating to security and trade rela-tions. Bajwa was accompanied by the chief of Pakistan’s intelligence agency (ISI) and Pakistan’s deputy minister of foreign affairs.
