Khalilzad, better known as Zal in Washington DC said that “I’m hoping that the negotiations will make some progress, but a decision will have to be made after elections as to what happens.” Khalilzad was excited to announce that after fourty years of war Afghans are working on a roadmap towards peace.
“The people of Afghanistan demand an end to the war. We support them in that effort. And this meeting is one of the key requirements, a product of the U.S.-Taliban agreement which was signed on February 29th” Khalilzad added.
