Afghan peace negotiators meet Mullah Baradar

November 22, 2013 01:04

Afghan peace negotiators visiting Pakistan have met with senior Afghan Taliban commander Mullah Baradar, who was recently released by Pakistani security agencies but remains under their strict surveillance.

"I can confirm that a meeting with Mullah Baradar has taken place," an unnamed Afghan official was quoted as saying by the Express Tribune.

The delegation wrapped up their three-day trip today with a meeting with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif during which he vowed continued support to the reconciliation process.

The visit by the five-member delegation of the Afghan High Peace Council took place after Sharif accepted a request for access to Baradar from Afghan President Hamid Karzai during a trilateral summit hosted by British Prime Minister David Cameron in London last month.

The Afghan team led by High Peace Council Chairman Salahuddin Rabbani arrived in Islamabad on Tuesday but the visit was kept under wraps
