British Prime Minister David Cameron said during a visit to Afghanistan that the Taliban should join the political process.
"I believe that the Taliban, watching all this progress, are beginning to realise that they are not going to secure a role in Afghanistan's future through terror and violence but by giving up their arms and engaging in a political process.
"But let me make absolutely clear this peace process is for Afghanistan to determine.
"It must be Afghan-owned; it must be Afghan-led. There is no other agenda that Britain has, that America has, that any country in the West has - no other agenda other than your stability, your security and your prosperity, that is why we wish this peace process well, but it must be your peace process, not anybody else's."
