KABUL: The second meeting of the Quadrilateral Contact Group on Afghan peace and reconciliation process will be held in Kabul today.
As per details, Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry will represent Pakistan at the meeting. The first meeting of the group was held in Islamabad on Monday last.
The group will discuss a roadmap for the reconciliation process involving the Afghan government and Taliban.
The group comprises Pakistan, Afghanistan, China and the United States.
Reuters adds: Afghanistan, Pakistan, China and the United States hold talks aimed at laying the ground for a negotiated end to almost 15 years of war between U.S.-supported government forces and Taliban insurgents now firmly on the offensive.
Taliban forces have stepped up their campaign in the last year to topple the Kabul government, which has struggled since most foreign troops left at the end of 2014.
High-profile suicide attacks and Taliban territorial gains in Helmand province have underlined how far Afghanistan remains from peace.
