KABUL, March 27 (Xinhua) -- The Afghan interim government's spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, has said that several issues, including reopening the U.S. Embassy in Kabul and handing over the control of the Afghan Embassy in Washington, had been discussed here with a U.S. delegation.

"Negotiations for handing over the Afghan Embassy in the United States are ongoing," Mujahid said in an interview with Al Arabiya TV channel. "We also want the U.S. Embassy to resume its activities."

The delegation returned to the United States with a number of issues, and "we will wait to see what steps Washington will take," Mujahid added.

Mujahid said that the interim government has ended a war with the United States and is committed to establishing positive relations with the country.

Since the interim government assumed power in August 2021, a U.S. delegation visited Kabul last week for the first time. The delegation discussed bilateral relations and prisoner exchange with the government's Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi. Enditem
