New developments reported on Afghanistan peace process

Afghanistan’s ambassador to the United Arab Emirates Javid Ahmad has said Afghan peace talks, now stalled in Qatar, should be rotated to other venues.

Talking to media, he said peace talks should not be held in one fixed location, but rotate among venues in Europe, Asia, the Middle East or Afghanistan itself.

He said the Qataris as a host could have played a more active and decisive role in pushing the Taliban to reduce violence or declare a ceasefire.

Meanwhile, Russia will hold a conference on Afghanistan this week, while Turkey hosts talks next month as the United States seeks to shake-up the process, proposing an interim administration.
