The State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland said that US Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton’s statement about possibility of reconciliation talks with Haqqani network is not a change in US policy.
“We need and are continuing to talk intensely with Pakistan to fight terrorism and Haqqani network in Pakistan, Afghanistan and other countries,” she said
Our position on reconciliation has been very clear that it has to be an Afghan-led process, she added.
She said that the US can only reconcile with those who break ties with Al Qaeda, respect Afghan constitution, human rights and the rights of women.
