U.S., NATO Would Leave Afghanistan ‘Together’: U.S. Envoy

U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation Zalmay Khalilzad says the United States and allies have come in Afghanistan “together” and would leave Afghanistan “together”.

The U.S. has so far held at least five round of peace talks with the Taliban as part of the diplomatic efforts to end the nearly two decades of war in Afghanistan.

In the latest round of talks which ended on March 11, the two sides reported of progress but have not reached yet to a final deal on withdrawal of U.S.-led international forces and arrangements that the Taliban ensures militants would not use Afghanistan to stage attacks against the U.S. and its allies.

“Working closely with NATO and other partners and allies has been a priority from day one. We came together. We will coordinate adjustments in our presence together. And if we leave, we will leave together. Together for peace and security for Afghanistan and for us all, Khalilzad said in a tweet.

It comes days after NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the future of NATO’s mission in Afghanistan would depend on the outcomes of the peace talks with the Taliban, but he underlined that the negotiations are far from over.

“It’s too early to pre-empt the outcome of the talks,” Stoltenberg said. “There’s still much to be done before a peace deal is in place.”

Iran’s special representative for Afghanistan, Hassan Kazemi Qomi, said that Afghanistan belongs to all Afghans and a government consisting of representatives of all ethnic groups should be established in the country.

“We have clearly stated that Afghanistan is for all Afghans, and if we want to not return to the conditions of Bonn, we must pay attention to this issue,” Qomi said while addressing Afghan refugees in Qom city, ISNA news agency reported.

The envoy emphasized that Iran, while engaging with the Islamic Emirate, also gives its advice to the new rulers of Afghanistan.

“A government consisting of righteous people from all ethnic groups can be the key to political stability and the beginning of construction in Afghanistan, which the Islamic Republic is pursuing the same policy,” he said.

Iran’s special representative for Afghanistan also pointed to Daesh and accused the United States of continuing its interventionist and destabilizing policies in Afghanistan and said: “Today the Americans are doing more evil in Afghanistan than in the past.”

Qomi stated that the cost of America’s interventionist policies in the region are borne by the people of Afghanistan.
