the u.s.-taliban agreement between the united states and the taliban, which will be initially the topic of today's discussion. that deal is now uncertain. while the u.s.-taliban talks have been ended, at least for the time being, the urgency of finding a way to reduce violence and achieve a political settlement of the conflict remains. the taliban and afghan government, backed by the u.s. and nato allies, are in a military stalemate. other groups like isis and al-qaeda retain footholds in afghanistan, and afghans continue to suffer ever greater civilian casualties. the need for peace is palpable. whatever path lies ahead, we know the way forward must provide lasting security and for serve the people of afghanistan. we have an exceptionally well-qualified group of people today to discuss where things stand in the peace process and help illuminate a very complex situation and identifying ways forward including afghanistan ambassador to the united states, roya rahmani. welcome. a distinguished pa
