Taliban: Peace Negotiations

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 19 March 2020 to Question 28707, on Taliban: Peace Negotiations, whether the UK had diplomatic representatives involved in the US-Taliban peace negotiations.

Answer

Following the change to date for answer of this PQ, I submitted a response by email on 2 April, with the following response. The Table Office have agreed this approach.

The UK did not have diplomatic representation at US-Taliban talks in Doha. We were in close consultation throughout the process. We engaged intensively with the US, Afghan Government and our NATO allies and partners. The UK continues to support Afghanistan on its path towards a more peaceful and positive future.
