MONITORING (SW) – U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation has urged both delegations at the intra-Afghan talks to seize the ‘unique opportunity’ for peace.<\/p>\n

In a series of tweets, Zalmay Khalilzad stressed the UN Security Council issued a statement on Afghanistan peace negotiations that underscores international commitment to Afghanistan's "sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity & national unity."<\/p>\n

“The UNSC statement supports the path the parties are currently on, which is to find a political settlement that accommodates all Afghans, one the region and international community can endorse in spirit and in action”, he tweeted.<\/p>\n

Khalilzad said this is a ‘unique’ moment for Afghanistan. “Not only are Afghan parties negotiating directly, but as indicated by the UNSC statement, there is broad international support for a negotiated political settlement and peace in Afghanistan. This unique opportunity must be seized”, he tweeted.<\/p>\n

The landmark intra-Afghan peace talks began in Doha began last week.<\/p>\n
