In which year Taliban office opened in Qatar

The Taliban opened an office in Qatar in 2013 to facilitate peace talks with the Afghan government and international stakeholders. This was part of efforts to end the Afghan conflict through diplomacy. The office in Doha has been a hub for negotiations leading to agreements like the 2020 US-Taliban deal. Qatar's neutral stance made it an ideal location for such discussions. This development is crucial for understanding Middle East geopolitics and conflict resolution strategies.
