U.S. special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad is consulting with Afghan government officials following six days of talks with the Afghan Taliban in Qatar aimed at ending the 17-year conflict in Afghanistan.

Khalilzad traveled to the Afghan capital, Kabul, on January 27 after the envoy, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and Taliban officials hailed progress toward peace.

Reuters, quoting a Qatari Foreign Ministry official, reported the talks were successful enough that the two sides have “agreed tentatively to reconvene on February 25.”
