US-Afghan Taliban Talks In Islamabad Postponed

Islamabad: The peace talks between the US and the Afghan Taliban, slated to take place here on Monday, were postponed after most members of the group’s negotiating team were unable to travel due to “the US and UN travel restrictions”, the media reported. “The Islamic Emirate (Taliban) had arranged for their representatives to participate, but unfortunately, most members of the negotiations team were unable to travel due to the US and UN blacklist and the meeting was postponed,” the Taliban said in a statement cited by the Express Tribune. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid had said last week its representatives will hold talks with the US in Islamabad on February 18 and that they will also meet Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan.
