Ghani endorses moving intra-Afghan negotiations to Afghanistan

KABUL (SW) – President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani on Sunday endorsed the idea of completing the remaining parts of the ongoing intra-Afghan negotiations inside Afghanistan.

Addressing the cabinet meeting, Ghani said the negotiations should continue inside Afghanistan with public having knowledge of the subjects discussed there. “The Taliban claim to be in Afghanistan, so do they not negotiate inside Afghanistan?” President Ghani was quoted in a series of tweets by Sediq Sediqqi, spokesman for the presidency.

Last week, National Security Adviser Hamdullah Mohib suggested the intra-Afghan negotiations can be completed inside Afghanistan.

In a series of tweets, NSA Hamdullah Mohib said the Afghan government would ensure preparations and setting-up installations for this purpose at any given location.

“Peace talks in Afghanistan will help create a credible exclusive security zone, and enable the Afghan people to own and oversee peace and negotiations”, he tweeted.

The Taliban are yet to comment on this offer.
