New chapter opens in Afghanistan-US ties: Ghani

Kabul, Jan 26 : Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said that a new chapter has opened in the relations between Washington and Kabul, adding that the US sees the South Asian nation as a fundamental partner.
“A new chapter has been opened in our ties with our main partner the US and it will continue,” TOLO News quoted President Ghani as saying at a cabinet meeting on Monday.
“Our relations will be at the level of government-to-government.” Ghani stressed that the US is reviewing the agreement it signed with the Taliban, and, after a review, the government will consult Kabul on finding a joint roadmap for the deal.
“A quick review of the US’ deal with the Taliban will be done by the National Security council and then a fundamental consultation will be done with us,” Ghani said.
The President’s comments come after US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan spoke with his Afghan counterpart Hamdullah Mohib last week during which he conveyed Washington’s commitment to the the two nations’ partnership and to peace for “all the people of Afghanistan”.
