have informed regarding the possible resumption of peace talks.

"We are now exploring the options for talks with foreign stakeholders, as well as with the Afghan side," a Taliban leader has told The Express Tribune in an interview from Qatar.

The Taliban leader further added "It will be a national level decision. The consultation process was strong. The Taliban military commanders, who had not been on-board earlier, have also been taken into confidence. I would say the consultation process was initiated at the grassroots level this time," he said.

He rejected the notion that the Taliban want a military solution to the Afghan problem. "We want a non-military solution," he added.

administration’s efforts are aimed at creating hurdles in the way of peace. We view such acts as anti-peace. It seems the government leaders do not show sincerity in the political process," he said.
