和解进程的主要任务，即促使塔利班加入和平谈判，仍未完成。在喀布尔和塔利班之间组织直接谈判的四方联络小组模式至今未能展现任何积极的结果。与希克马蒂亚尔领导的阿富汗极端伊斯兰党的谈判也出现了同样的情况。塔利班和阿富汗当局今年底恢复直接谈判的可能性甚微。
The main task in the reconciliation process, namely, to draw the Taliban into the peace negotiations, has not been achieved. The Quadrilateral Coordination Group format on organizing direct negotiations between Kabul and the Taliban has not been able demonstrate any positive results to date. A similar picture emerges in the negotiations with Hezb-i-Islami Gulbuddin, the Afghan extremist Islamic party headed by Hekmatyar. There is little likelihood of a resumption of direct negotiations between the Taliban and the Afghan authorities by the end of the year.
