KABUL, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- The Afghan Taliban has announced that the insurgent group was ready to talk with the United States over Afghan crisis, amid ongoing national and international efforts to initiate a political settlement for the war-battered country's lingering crisis, the outfit said in a statement on Tuesday.

"The Political Office of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (name of ousted Taliban regime) calls on American officials to talk directly to the Political Office of Islamic Emirate in Qatar regarding finding a peaceful solution to the Afghan quandary," the Taliban on-line statement read out.

The statement came days after U.S. Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asian Affairs Alice Wells visited Afghanistan and met with Afghan leaders.

The Taliban said that the statement was in response to Wells recent remarks that the U.S. has kept the doors of dialogue open for the Taliban.

"It must now be established by America and its allies that the Afghan issue cannot be solved militarily. America must henceforth focus on a peaceful strategy for Afghanistan instead of war. Military strategies, which have repeatedly been tested in Afghanistan over the past 17 years, will only intensify and prolong the war. And this is not in the interest of anyone." the statement said.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and other Afghan leaders have repeatedly offered peace talks with the Taliban. However, the insurgent group has categorically rejected the offer, saying there will be no talks until foreign troops leave the country.

Since Jan. 1, 2015, Afghan security forces have assumed the full security mission from NATO and U.S. forces.

Around 16,000 foreign troops have remained in Afghanistan to train and assist local security forces in their fight against the insurgents.
