Hizb-e-Islami leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar said Saturday that the current political system and Afghan National Security and Defense Forces have to be preserved.
Hekmatyar stated that the United States has to do a “responsible” withdrawal and pave the way for the establishment of a transitional government in order to end the current crisis in Afghanistan.
“The foreign forces have to leave Afghanistan in accordance with their commitments and they have to leave when there is no longer any war or insecurity,” he said.
Hekmatyar said the Afghan peace process must not be terminated and called on the Taliban to reach a conditional agreement on a ceasefire.
