DOHA: The United States and the Afghan Taliban are set to sign a peace deal today to pave the way to ending America’s longest war.
Through this deal, the reduction in violence would mark a major turning point in the conflict between both countries and set the conditions for a deal that could result in US troops pulling out after more than 18 years.
Both US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the Taliban issued statements saying they have agreed to sign the accord on 29th February in Doha that is scheduled today following the one-week partial truce.
In this regard, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi will represent Pakistan at the peace signing deal where Pakistan would welcome peace agreement between the Afghan Taliban and the US.
The ceremony will be attended by foreign ministers from around fifty other countries.Â
Qatar invited Pakistan to attend the peace signing deal. Qatari Ambassador to Pakistan Saqr Bin Mubarak invited Shah Mahmood Qureshi on behalf of the Qatari Foreign Minister earlier during a meeting in Islamabad.
