Discussions were high between Afghan negotiator Abdullah and PM Modi. Afghan peace negotiator Abdullah Abdullah said on Thursday that early withdrawal of US delegations from Afghanistan will have results, especially if the Taliban don’t come over on commitments to limit the use of Afghan soil by groups such as al-Qaeda. The chairman of the High Council for National Reconciliation in Afghanistan made statements hours after US President Donald Trump tweeted that he planned to bring home all American troops from Afghanistan by Christmas, months ahead of the earlier deadline of May 2021.

Shortly after the meeting with PM Modi, Abdullah addressed a gathering at the think tank Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA), where he was asked about Trump’s plan to withdraw all US troops by December.

“The US withdrawal will happen one day and Afghanistan should be able to stand on its own feet, but if it is premature, it will have its consequences,” he told the gathering that included retired and serving diplomats and military officials. According to a UN report issued in June, some 6,500 Pakistani nationals are among foreign terrorists operating in Afghanistan, and the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) play a pivotal role in bringing foreign fighters into the country.
