US Envoy Discusses Draft of Deal With Afghan Leader

VOA News

   Afghan officials say U.S. envoy Zalmay Khalilzad met with Afghan
   President Ashraf Ghani Monday in Kabul to share details of a draft
   U.S.-Taliban peace agreement, but did not hand a copy of the deal to
   the president.

   Afghan presidential spokesman Sediq Sediqqi told reporters that
   Khalilzad shared all the important details in the document and that the
   government will discuss it internally. Further discussions with
   Khalilzad's team are expected to continue.
   Khalilzad announced Sunday via Twitter he had concluded the ninth round
   of peace talks with the Taliban in Qatar and was leaving for Kabul to
   brief Afghan leaders in his discussions with the insurgents.
