The US State Department said on October 8 local time that the United States and the Afghan Taliban would hold face-to-face talks for the first time since the withdrawal of troops.
According to Agence France Presse on October 9, a spokesman for the US State Department said on the 8th that the US delegation would meet with the high representative of the Afghan Taliban in Doha, Qatar, from the 9th to the 10th. "We will urge the Taliban to respect the rights of all Afghans, including women and girls, and form an inclusive government with broad support." the spokesman said, "as Afghanistan is facing serious economic contraction and there may be a humanitarian crisis in the future, we will also put pressure on the Taliban to allow humanitarian agencies free access to areas in need."
The state department stressed that the meeting did not show that the United States recognized the rule of the Taliban in Afghanistan. "Any legitimacy must be obtained through the Taliban's own actions," the spokesman said.
Reuters quoted sources as saying that the U.S. high-level delegation will include officials from the State Department, the U.S. Agency for international development and the U.S. intelligence community.
Reported that the U.S. delegation will also put pressure on the Taliban on Biden's primary appeal, that is, to allow U.S. citizens and Afghan allies to leave the country safely. The United States said that the Taliban showed sincerity in cooperation in the withdrawal of American citizens. According to U.S. officials, there are still about 100 U.S. citizens in Afghanistan, most of whom have lived in Afghanistan for a long time, and they have not decided whether to leave. The United States acknowledges that there are still a large number of Afghan allies willing to withdraw in Afghanistan.
