KABUL (SW) – Zalmay Khalilzad, U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation, has clarified no troop withdrawal timetable exists.<\/p>\n

“In recent days, I’ve heard some individual Taliban officials claim we have a troop withdrawal timetable for Afghanistan. Today, they correctly retracted that claim”, he said in a tweet here on Thursday.<\/p>\n

This came as Abdul Salam Hanafi, a member of the Taliban delegation in Moscow conference, claimed the US has promised to take out half of its troops from Afghanistan by April.<\/p>\n

Moscow hosted the two-day conference among the Taliban and a number of Afghan officials snubbing the Kabul government. The conference concluded with a joint statement that also called for the withdrawal of the foreign troops from Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

The Afghan government was not presented in this conference, and Shah Hussain Murtazavi, deputy spokesman for President Ashraf Ghani, has dubbed it as a meeting between the Taliban and the ‘team of Haneet Atmar’.<\/p>\n
