Pakistani Government, Taliban Hold Landmark Talks -- Voice of America
The talks were to have taken place this past Tuesday but were postponed after the government sought clarification on who was on the Taliban negotiating team. Thursday's meeting, which lasted some three hours, was aimed at charting a roadmap for future peace talks to end the militants' bloody insurgency.
In a joint statement afterwards, the Taliban's chief negotiator, Maulana Sami-ul Haq, said he agreed with the government's position that both sides should avoid any steps that can disrupt the peace process.
"It is necessary for the success of the talks that all activities against peace and security should be ended," said Sami-ul Haq.
