The Taliban are willing to sign a final agreement with the US, the deputy chairman of the Islamic militant organisation, Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanekzai, said in an interview today.
Stanekzai told the BBC that militants will declare ceasefire with American troops in Afghanistan after the agreement is signed.
The Taliban and the US were in the process of signing an agreement to end the 18-year war in Afghanistan when US President Donald Trump unexpectedly cancelled peace talks last week citing the murder of an American soldier and 13 others in a Taliban bombing that occurred earlier this month.
The militant group's spokesman said that, meanwhile, a Taliban delegation consisting of four members travelled to Iran yesterday and met with high-level officials, including Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
The spokesman said the peace process and protection of Iranian development projects in Afghanistan were discussed in the talks.
