Washington’s special envoy Adam Boehler made a rare visit on Saturday to Kabul, where he said the United States would move forward with a prisoner exchange, according to the Taliban government.
“Adam Boehler, referring to the issue of detained citizens between Afghanistan and the United States, said that both countries will exchange prisoners,” deputy prime minister Abdul Ghani Baradar’s office said after their meeting.
Washington did not immediately comment on Boehler’s visit, and no date has been set for a swap.
