KABUL (AP) — Afghanistan's president says he's willing to talk with the Taliban chief in a bid to bring peace to the country.
President Hamid Karzai said in an interview Thursday with The Associated Press that he would do "whatever it takes" to bring peace, including meeting with Taliban leader Mullah Omar.
But Karzai says he wants guarantees that the U.S. and its international partners are backing any peace bid. He says previous efforts at talks with the Taliban were undermined when ex-members of the hard-line movement were "harassed" by international forces even though they had quit the insurgency.
Karzai says not all Taliban are terrorists but members of al-Qaeda and other terror groups are not welcome in the country.

As his second VP is Taliban, it should not be hard to arrange the meeting.

That is true. You know there is more corruption than we can imagine in politics, not to even mention the politics of Afghanistan.
