Qatari prime minister held talks with the supreme leader of the Taliban this month on resolving tension with the international community, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing a source familiar with the meeting.

The May 12 meeting in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar between Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani and Haibatullah Akhunzada is the first the reclusive Taliban chief is known to have held with a foreign leader.
