Former Afghan president Hamid Karzai returned to Kabul after meeting with officials from Germany, Britain, Turkiye and the United Arab Emirates.
An informed source told Afghanistan International that the former president also spoke with Afghan political leaders in exile about the start of intra-Afghan talks.
The sources did not provide further details about Karzai's meetings, but said that "the beginning of a national dialogue in order to represent the national will, to get Afghanistan out of isolation and to continue humanitarian aid to the Afghan people" was the focus of the former president's talks with officials of the four countries and Afghan politicians abroad.
Karzai's office in Kabul has not yet released anything about his trips.
Karzai's visit to Germany, Britain, Turkiye and the United Arab Emirates comes at a time when the Taliban's insistence on the group's strict policies, especially towards women, has intensified criticism from the international community, and in a recent meeting of the Security Council, the Security Council called for an end to these policies.
Hamid Karzai is one of the few Afghan leaders who has remained in Afghanistan since the fall of the previous government. The Taliban has imposed restrictions on Karzai's travel from time to time. However, the former president of Afghanistan has repeatedly called for the reopening of universities and schools to girls.
