“We have made excellent progress,” Khalilzad twitted, spending the last few days in Doha and focused on the remaining issue in completing a potential deal with the Taliban that would allow for a conditions-based troop withdrawal.

Khalilzad, meanwhile, headed to New Delhi for a prescheduled meeting to further build international consensus in the support of the Afghan peace process while his team will continue discuss technical details in Doha.

“My team and Taliban representatives will continue to discuss technical details as well as steps and mechanisms required for a succesful implementation of the four-part agreement we’ve been working toward since my appointment,” he added, stressing that “agreement on these details is essential”.
