| Hamid Karzai, Afghanistan's President |
Hard
mediation job waits for Germany: President of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai asked
Germany about discrete help by the difficult peace negotiations with Taliban.
The first try of negotiations failed, as Afghanistan’s President broke it
himself. On the edge of Tokyo International Donors Conference Hamid Karzai met
with German Foreign minister Guido Westerwelle and asked Germany about
mediation in the relationships between Kabul and Islamists, as it was already in
2010 and 2011.
That time German played an important role in the process of building the closer relations with Taliban regime. Under the circumstances of the greatest secrecy the explanation talks were held in 2010 between Taliban and USA representatives with German mediation. Germany insisted that the peace negotiations are needed, and the situation can be solved only politically.
