In an exclusive interview with ThePrint’s Jyoti Malhotra & Nikhil Hajirnis, Russia’s special envoy on Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov says that US envoy on Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad’s talks with the Taliban will lead to an agreement in ten days, both on ending violence inside Afghanistan and a gradual US withdrawal from that country. This will be followed by an intra-Afghan dialogue with all Afghan factions on how to bring about peace. Kabulov said that Pakistan is a partner and has played a role in the negotiations, and that India should be on board the unfolding new Great Game in this part of Asia.
