Kabul. Former vice president Jusuf Kalla arrived in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Wednesday morning local time to meet invitation by the host government, who seeks his advice about peacemaking efforts involving the warring camps.
Indonesian Ambassador to Afghanistan Arief Rachmand said Kalla directly headed to the Haram Sarai Palace for a series of meeting with local leaders upon his arrival.
“Mr. JK’s arrival is long overdue to help find solution for the peace accord in Afghanistan,” Arief said in a statement.
A spokesman for Kalla said the former vice president has been actively encouraging peace talks in Afghanistan since he was in office. President Joko Widodo also visited the country in January 2018 for talks with his Afghan counterpart Ashraf Ghani.
