“Comprehensive discussions were held on ways to develop bilateral relations between the two countries, issues related to citizens, and investment opportunities in Afghanistan,” the statement said. It did not say where or precisely when the meeting was held.
The statement added that the U.S. delegation also expressed condolences over the devastating earthquake in eastern Afghanistan late last month.
The meeting came after the Taliban released U.S. citizen George Glezmann, who was abducted while traveling through Afghanistan as a tourist. He was the third detainee freed by the Taliban since President Donald Trump took office. It also came after the Taliban sharply criticized Trump's new travel ban that bars Afghans from entering the United States.
