There are needs for the talks to “compromise positions on power sharing that can lead to an inclusive and legitimate government and a just and durable settlement,” it added.
“The process of the troop withdrawal must not serve as an excuse for the Taliban to suspend the peace process,” it said.
The envoys participating in the meeting also condemned the violence “for which the Taliban are largely responsible,” calling on the group to put a stop to their “undeclared spring offensive.”
