Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. envoy for Afghanistan, was hopeful as he spoke to reporters on Saturday about the outcome of the peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban.

Members of the Taliban and delegates appointed by the Afghan government are meeting in Qatar, with negotiations aimed at bringing an end to a decades-long war.
