He also stressed the effective role played by Afghanistan neighbors in this process.
Referring to the fact that military approach has brought no peace and security for Afghanistan, he said presenting a time table for foreign forces' withdrawal from Afghanistan is a reasonable step to pave the way for start of peace talks.
