The US envoy negotiating with the Taliban hailed "significant progress" Saturday in finding a solution to end Afghanistan's long-running war.
"Meetings here were more productive than they have been in the past. We made significant progress on vital issues," Zalmay Khalilzad, the US special representative for Afghan reconciliation, wrote on Twitter.
Khalilzad met for an unexpectedly long six days with the Taliban in Qatar.
He said he was flying back to Afghanistan to discuss the talks.
"We will build on the momentum and resume talks shortly. We have a number of issues left to work out," he tweeted.
"Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed, and 'everything' must include an intra-Afghan dialogue and comprehensive ceasefire."
