In this latest round of peace talks, the Taleban has reportedly agreed to a reduction in violence for a 10-day period which means the group will not carry out attacks in urban areas, reports TOLO News.
Sediqqi said that ending the war and bringing peace to the country were priorities of the government of Afghanistan and "the President and the people of Afghanistan have always insisted on a ceasefire".
The spokesman reiterated that the ceasefire was the "most important demand of Afghans", adding that the Taliban "should accept a ceasefire if they are really interested in peace".
The process will "not achieve any results without the role of the Afghan government", Sediqqi said.
The new talks began last week after a month-long break since the two sides paused the negotiations for internal consultations on December 12, 2019, reports Efe news.
The Taleban and the US resumed the negotiations on December 7 following a three-month stalemate after President Donald Trump abruptly called off the talks in September over a deadly attack in Kabul that also killed an American soldier.
A possible US-Taleban agreement is expected to pave the way for intra-Afghan peace talks between the Taleban and the government of President Ashraf Ghani.
The Taleban have for long rejected to hold any official and direct talks with the Afghan government before it reaches an agreement with the US on its troop withdrawal from the country.
