The Afghan government and "Taliban" movement delegates lauded Iran's efforts and goodwill in "achieving peace in Afghanistan and its hospitality" in hosting the negotiations, between the two parties, on Wednesday and Thursday, calling the meeting "an opportunity and a new platform to enforce a political resolution of the Afghan problem." 

In a joint statement, both sides agreed that war "is not the solution to the Afghan problem, and all efforts must aim to reach a political resolution."

The statement revealed that both sides agreed on the dangers of continuing the war, and the extent of its damage to internal security, saying that the talks "took place in a friendly atmosphere, and all matters were discussed frankly and in detail." 

The statement also said that both sides have agreed to look into matters that need further consultation and clarity, such as founding a mechanism to move from war to lasting peace, the agreed-upon Islamic system, and how this may be achieved during the next meeting.
