Baradar-led Taliban team meets China’s special envoy

A Taliban delegation met China’s special representative for Afghanistan in Beijing

on Sunday to discuss the group’s peace talks with the United States, a spokesman for the militant group said.

The meeting comes after US President Donald Trump’s eleventh-hour cancellation earlier this month of the negotiations between his country and the Taliban, which many had hoped would pave the way to a broader peace deal with the Afghan government and ending a 17-year war.

The Taliban’s nine-member delegation travelled to Beijing and met Deng Xijun,

China’s special representative for Afghanistan, said Suhail Shaheen, the Afghan group’s spokesman in Qatar,

on his official Twitter account.

“The Chinese special representative said

The US-Taliban deal is a good framework for the peaceful solution of the Afghan issue and they support it,” Shaheen wrote.

Mullah Baradar, the Taliban delegation’s leader, said they had held a dialogue and reached a “comprehensive deal”, Shaheen tweeted.

“Now, if the US president cannot stay committed to his words and breaks his promise,

then he is responsible for any kind of distraction and bloodshed in Afghanistan,”

Baradar said, according to Shaheen.
