Qatari Foreign Minister Muhammad bin 'Abd a-Rahman a-Thani said that the parties that have been in the war for so long should "reach agreements alongside the current challenges, and transcend all disputes."

He said the peace agreement between Afghanistan and the Taliban should be based on "no winners and no losers."

The talks are part of a peace deal signed by the United States with the Islamist organization, which included a gradual withdrawal of US and NATO forces from the country, which they invaded following the September 11, 2001 attacks.
