Islam Times - US special envoy to Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, announced "remarkable progress" during talks with the Taliban movement in the Qatari capital of Doha.

"I spent the last days in Doha focusing on the remaining issues in terms of completing a possible deal with the Taliban that will allow a conditional withdrawal of troops," Khalilzad wrote in his official Twitter account on Monday. "We have made remarkable progress."

The envoy said he would travel to Delhi on Monday for meetings to achieve international consensus in support of the peace process in Afghanistan.

Zalmay Khalilzad said his team would continue to discuss technical details with Taliban representatives, as well as steps and mechanisms for a successful implementation of the agreement being worked on.
