Qatar's foreign minister calls for 'national reconciliation' in Afghanistan to ensure country's stability
Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said Doha would"support all efforts that would achieve national reconciliation in Afghanistan".
Qatar has long acted as a mediator on Afghanistan, hosting the Taliban's talks with the United States under former president Donald Trump, and then with the now deposed pro-western Afghan government. On Monday Sheikh Mohammed said that discussions about whether the Taliban should be recognised diplomatically were redundant and the emphasis should be on engagement.
