India must discuss its issues on terrorism straight with the Taliban, stated U.S. Unique Agent for Afghanistan Reconciliation Zalmay Khalilzad, adding that he had actually discussed how India could play a “more active role” in the Afghan reconciliation process during his talks in Delhi on Thursday. “India and Afghanistan have historic ties, and I think that discussion in between India and the Taliban is important, and it would be important that concerns of concern like this [terrorism] are raised straight,” he included.
This is the first time the U.S. has publicly suggested an engagement in between India and the Taliban.
