The Afghan government’s negotiating team urges on the preservation of the Islamic Republic in peace negotiations with Taliban.

Massoum Stanakzai, the government’s chief negotiator, said Wednesday in Qatar, where the peace talks are going on with the Taliban for the first time, saying that the people of Afghanistan have suffered war and given sacrifices in the past 40 years.

He said that the current governance system is internationally recognized, adding that “before the Islamic Republic, Afghanistan was at a complete isolation”.
