As prospects for the resumption of peace talks between the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the Taliban remain vague, a spokesman for the Taliban on Monday said that the group was ready to resume intra-Afghan talks in Doha—but gave no details about when the talks would start again.

“We are conducting regular meetings, the contact has not been cut off, we are ready for the talks to move forward,” said Mohammad Naeem, a spokesman for the Taliban in Doha.

President Ashraf Ghani said that the Afghan government is ready to fight against the Taliban after the full withdrawal of international troops from the country, reiterating that the key to peace talks is accepting the election as a way forward for Afghanistan’s future government.

“The threat of terrorism has changed. It has not disappeared. We are all agreed on this,” Ghani said in an interview with PBS on May 17. “The United States is committed to support things, providing support. This is financial, in the security area, in the economic area, in the humanitarian area, because the United States, fortunately, shares the values of supporting the gains of the last 20 years. And our discussion is enormously productive.
