Pakistan today said that no precondition should be attached for talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban, as a key meeting of Afghanistan, Pakistan, China and the US began here to revive the stalled
peace process and encourage the militants to end 15 years of
violence. 

The four-day talks came as Taliban waged an unprecedented winter campaign of violence.

"It is important that no preconditions are attached to the reconciliation process, as it will create difficulties in bringing Taliban to the negotiating table," Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's Advisor on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz said at the meeting.

The group was set up last year to facilitate the reconciliation process in the war-torn country.
