On September 23, contact groups from both sides of the Afghan peace negotiations in Doha, the capital of Qatar, resumed their discussions on primary issues before the formal talks without success, reports Tolo News. “An agreement has been made on 18 of the disputed points. Our contact groups today continued their discussions on the two remaining items. The perspectives (of both sides) have come closer; however, they have not reached a final agreement on these points so that we could move toward the agenda of the talks,” said Attaullah Ludin, a member of the republic's negotiating team.“Today the sides continued their meeting. We are doing our best to make progress. Hopefully in one or two days--or in the coming days-- (we will reach an agreement) about the issue of rules and regulations and reach a decision about the meetings,” said Khalid Noor, a member of the republic's negotiating team.
