Pakistan will present a list of Taliban willing to negotiate with Kabul at a meeting this week aimed at reviving the Afghan peace process, an Afghan official said on Sunday.

Afghanistan, Pakistan, China and the United States are scheduled to meet in Islamabad on Monday to discuss a roadmap for peace talks. The meeting will not include the Taliban.

Javid Faisal, deputy spokesperson for chief executive Abdullah Abdullah, said that Pakistan’s list will include Taliban who do and do not want talks with Kabul on ending the 15-year war.

Pakistan had agreed to cut off financial support to Taliban fighters based in Pakistani cities, including Quetta and Peshawar, Mr Faisal said. Insurgents based in Pakistan would not be allowed to resettle in Afghanistan, he added.

The agreement would also include “bilateral cooperation on eliminating terrorism”, Mr Faisal said.

Pakistani officials could not be immediately reached for comment. Pakistan has consistently denied US and Afghan allegations that it gives financial or material support to Afghanistan’s Taliban.

The CIA has publicly accused Pakistan of supporting the Haqqani group, a Taliban affiliate and US-declared terrorist group.

Tomorrow’s meeting in Islamabad could revive a process that collapsed in the summer of 2015 after Afghanistan announced that Mullah Mohammad Omar, founder and leader of the Taliban, had died in a Pakistani hospital more than two years ago.

The announcement led the Taliban to pull out of the talks after just one meeting hosted by Islamabad. A subsequent power struggle within the Taliban has raised questions about who would represent the insurgents if and when the talks with Kabul are restarted.

Analysts have cautioned that despite the rapprochement between Kabul and Islamabad, any substantive peace talks are months off.

Meanwhile, Afghan forces on Sunday wrested control of a northern district bordering Tajikistan from the Taliban, officials said, two months after its capture stoked fears the jihadists’ violence could spread to Central Asia.

The rare positive news for the Afghan military comes as the Taliban are expanding their 14-year-insurgency with an unprecedented winter surge, which analysts suggest is aimed at increasing their leverage before planned peace talks.

The Afghan Army, police and special forces units launched a fierce offensive on Friday to recapture the Darqad district in the province of Takhar.
