Afghan Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah said on Tuesday it is imperative for any future talks to include negotiators from the Afghan government, be it led by him or by Ghani.
Any negotiating team “has to be inclusive. Government has to be a part of that”, Abdullah said in an interview with AFP.
US President Donald Trump in September halted year-long peace talks with the Taliban, citing a deadly in Kabul.
US talks with the Taliban had excluded the Afghan government as the group had refused to deal directly with the government.
