MOSCOW, Russia, 20 March, 2021, (TON): Following the Moscow gathering on Afghan harmony, delegates addressing the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the Taliban just as Hizb-e-Islami pioneer Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and the Taliban held shut entryway gatherings and examined the possibilities for an arranged settlement to the predominant clashes in the country.

Taliban, in the gathering, hung on Friday, by and by demanding that a perpetual truce was relevant once an understanding is reached between Afghan gatherings to set up an Islamic government in the nation, acknowledged by every one of the Afghans. In any case, Abdullah, top of the High Council for National Reconciliation, said the position of "Troika" part nations on the future political framework in Afghanistan mirrors the desire of the Afghan public, stated in a report.

"We welcome this statement because its main focus is on achieving peace and the demands of the Afghan people and the concerns that exist among the Afghan people," Abdullah said.

"This issue can be discussed in the next stage. It is up to Afghans to decide what type of political system they want, but it is a resolute fact that the future system should be an Islamic government. There is no doubt in it," Taliban spokesman Mohammad Naeem said.

"We want a new Islamic government to get shape so that the Muslim nation of Afghanistan can get its benefit," Taliban negotiator Mullah Khairullah Khairkhaw said. Meanwhile, Hizb-e-Islami leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, who held a separate meeting with the Taliban, said there is a need for an inclusive government to be formed.

This comes after a joint proclamation was given after the meeting in Moscow on Friday in which the four essential delegate nations Russia, China, the US, and Pakistan expressed that "they would not support the return of the Islamic emirate system in Afghanistan".

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday welcomed the statement by the Moscow conference and called it a step forward towards beginning serious talks for achieving peace based on Afghans' demand.
