Presidential spokesperson Sediq Sediqqi on Sunday reiterated Kabul’s stand on peace saying that it wants a peace process led and owned by Afghan government as he urged all the stakeholders, including the US, to support government’s peace plan.
“It’s very hard for others to make peace for us. If you ask all Afghans, they will say that peace process should be led by Afghans, and for us our national priority is peace. All of us, including the US, should support Afghan peace plan,” Sediqqi said.
Earlier in the day, US Special Representative for Afghan peace, Zalmay Khalilzad briefed President Ashraf Ghani on recent developments in the peace process.
“Our position is clear: We want a process that is led and owned by Afghans. We have a plan for peace, we are always ready for talks, and our door is always open for negotiations,” he added.
