Taliban political office needs reopening conclude Afghan talks

Talks on Afghanistan's conflict this weekend agreed that the Taliban's political office in Doha, Qatar, should be reopened in order to facilitate negotiations, and that senior Taliban leaders' names should be removed from the UN terrorism black list, reported Reuters.

The 'non-official meeting', which took place over two days in Qatar, included UN representatives, as well as representatives from the Taliban and the Afghan government.

The ongoing foreign military presence remained contentious however, with the Taliban stating it would not stop fighting until all foreign forces had left Afghanistan.
