WASHINGTON, 02 July 2022, (TON): As the United States and the Taliban reengaged in Doha, US officials defended the talks, saying “isolating Kabul’s de facto rulers would not promote US interests in Afghanistan.”
A US State Department official told media “we believe that we can accomplish more in Afghanistan by engaging, rather than isolating the Taliban.”
The official added “this would be “the first in-person engagement with a high-level Taliban representative since the Taliban’s March 23 decision to ban girls from attending secondary schools.”
Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi is representing the Taliban in the talks while Special Representative for Afghanistan Thomas West leads the American delegation.
