Taliban: US engaged in Afghan peace process to legitimise its troop withdrawal

Kabul, Apr 28 (UNI) United States is primarily concerned with legitimising its troop withdrawal from Afghanistan so that it does not look like a humiliating defeat, which is why it is trying to secure support of its traditional rival, Russia, and regional powers during negotiations on the Afghan peace process, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said.
On Thursday, United States, Russia and China held trilateral consultations on Afghanistan in Moscow. In their joint statement issued after the talks, the sides called for an "inclusive Afghan-led" peace process, agreed on an "orderly and responsible" pullout of foreign troops from the crisis-hit country and took note of Taliban's commitment to cut ties with terrorist and extremist groups. They also expressed readiness "to build a more extensive regional and international consensus" on Afghanistan.
"The United States is meeting Russia and other representatives of regional countries to make legitimacy for withdrawal and so it will not be named defeat. But it has already been defeated in Afghanistan," Mujahid said.
