He has spoken out of some proposal, which has been made by the RAND regarding peace talks, saying that the draft agreement could be used as a reference for peace deal. He has called the ongoing negotiation a US withdrawal deal and said that there is no peace process which would be currently discussing.
Expressing concerns about the capabilities of the Afghan Security Forces, Asey said, “Our international allies have not tried war. They have not invested on the capabilities of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces.”
