Shares
Washington: Acting US Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan said Monday peace talks between the US and the Taliban were "encouraging."
"I'd say really the takeaway right now: it's encouraging," Shanahan told Pentagon reporters.
His remarks came after US special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad was quoted as saying that the US and the Taliban have drafted the framework of a deal which could pave the way for peace talks with Kabul.
