Jafar Mahdavi, a former member of parliament, claimed that talks between the Taliban and the group's political opponents have "entered promising stages”.

Mahdavi, who has close ties with the Taliban, said that "in the not too distant future, we will see the pleasant and practical results of these talks”.

Earlier, Almas Zahid, a member of the National Council of Resistance for the Salvation of Afghanistan, said that the council has become hopeful for peace in Afghanistan after several meetings with the Taliban.

Zahid said that the international community and the United States are aware of the council's talks with the Taliban.

Jafar Mahdavi wrote on social media platform X on Friday that the Afghan people do not support the continuation of war and violence and expect all parties to "support soft and non-violent capacities and mechanisms, such as direct dialogue”.

The National Resistance Council for the Salvation of Afghanistan is made up of former government officials and leaders of political parties and jihadi leaders. Opponents of the Taliban have repeatedly said that the Taliban is not willing to negotiate to resolve the Afghan issue. Among the opponents of the Taliban, the National Resistance Front and the Afghanistan Freedom Front have continued their armed struggle against the Taliban.

Jafar Mahdavi said that resolving Afghanistan's internal problems will be possible through meaningful and empathetic talks between all parties.
