Describing the US-led forces presence in Afghanistan as the cause of conflict, Taleban chief Mullah Hebatullah Akhundzada in the statement said: "Lone option is to end the occupation of Afghanistan," reports Xinhua news agency.
"Taleban continues to call for understanding and sound logic instead of force and points them towards options that can guarantee the cessation and end of this long war," the leader said.
The Taleban has repeatedly refused the Afghan government's offer for talks, blaming the US for continued war and instability in the country.
"Since the ongoing war in Afghanistan is the birth-child of US occupation therefore we have and continue to insist on direct talks with Washington to bring it to an end," the statement added.
