The US Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation Zalmay Khalilzad has arrived in Kabul where he is meeting with Afghan leaders ahead of the Eid-al-Adha ceasefire, which starts on Friday, said government officials.

Members of the High Council of National Reconciliation have said that Khalilzad’s trip is aimed at holding discussions with the Afghan political leadership about the intra-Afghan talks and the implementation of the US-Taliban peace agreement which was signed in Doha on February 29.

The Taliban on Tuesday announced a three-day ceasefire during Eid al-Adha.

The group called on its fighters to avoid attacking Afghan forces and to not enter government-controlled areas.
