KABUL: The U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad has departed on June 28 for travel to Doha, Islamabad, and Tashkent to talk issues related to the Afghan peace process and challenges at the forefront.
At all three locations, Ambassador Khalilzad will urge support for all Afghans to meet their remaining commitments ahead of intra-Afghan negotiations, specifically reduced violence and timely prisoner releases, the US Department of State said on Sunday in a statement.
Ambassador Khalilzad is joined by U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) CEO Adam Boehler and his team. “Afghan peace, economic growth, and regional connectivity are closely linked and mutually supportive,” the statement added.
The delegation will explore investment opportunities and partnerships in a range of sectors to advance the economic recovery of Afghanistan and support sustained peace and stability in the region.
Due to the challenges of travel during the COVID-19 pandemic, Ambassador Khalilzad, CEO Boehler, and their delegation will also conduct meetings with Afghan officials throughout the trip remotely via video, the statement concluded.
