After nearly 20 years of conflict in Afghanistan, the warring parties meet face-to-face at the negotiating table in the Qatari capital, Doha.

One of the key players in the Afghan peace process has been Afghan-born American diplomat Zalmay Khalilzad, who has led the efforts to achieve peace in Afghanistan on behalf of the United States since September 2018.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, US Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation Zalmay Khalilzad says for many years there has been an effort to end the war in Afghanistan in an agreement broadly supported in Afghanistan as a roadmap. “Also in an agreement Afghanistan never again is a threat to international community, of course to the United States in particularly.”
