Taliban, government negotiators agree on 'peaceful' end to Afghan quagmire

Laghman, Jul 8 (EFE/EPA).- Taliban and government negotiators Thursday agreed to work on “a peaceful and political solution” to Afghan problems after they met in Tehran amid rapid territorial advances by the insurgents following a pullout of foreign troops from Afghanistan.

The two sides concluded their talks in the Iranian capital of Tehran on the stalled Afghan peace process.

In a joint statement after a two-day meeting backed by the Iranian government, they agreed that war was “not the ultimate solution for problems” in Afghanistan. (Camera: GHULLAMULLAH HABIBI).
