Taliban representatives meet for the first time…

1998 CE

Taliban representatives meet for the first time with their primary opponents, the Northern Alliance, in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad.

The United States, the United Nations, and the Saudi Arabia-based Organization of Islamic Conference are the backers of the meeting.

The Taliban, which controls almost 90 percent of Afghan territory, is urged by those promoting the talks to consider widening the scope of its government to include its opponents in the ruling structure.

Fighting between the two forces continues in the Shomali plains north of Kabul.
