PESHAWAR: Taliban Committee member Professor Ibrahim Khan said that a suitable place was being selected for peace negotiations, DawnNews reported on Sunday evening.
Talking to the TV channel, Prof Ibrahim said that the negotiations are headed towards success.
"We are in touch with the Taliban to finalise a spot for dialogue. Both sides do not have any issues regarding this and suggestions are pouring in," he said.
He further said, "The Taliban have given a proposal wherein they suggested that the Pakistan Army should vacate a part of South Waziristan and the talks can be held there. However, this is just a suggestion by the Taliban and not binding."
The ongoing peace talks between the government and Taliban struck an impasse last month after the Taliban-linked militants murdered 23 kidnapped Pakistani paramilitary soldiers.
The killings resulted in multiple targeted airstrikes by the military against suspected hideouts in the tribal northwest bordering with Afghanistan.
The Taliban then announced a one-month ceasefire which was reciprocated by the government which halted its airstrikes targeting militants and their hideouts.
