Reuters: U.S. envoy says latest peace talks with Taliban 'most productive' so far
KABUL (Reuters) - U.S. and Taliban officials will reconvene on Tuesday to continue peace talks described as the “most productive session” by a top U.S. negotiator leading the discussions with the hardline Islamists group to end the Afghan war.
