"The two sides held face-to-face negotiations about the release of Afghan National Defense and Security Force personnel as well as Taliban prisoners," Afghanistan's Office of the National Security Council said on Twitter.

The two sides met Tuesday after Taliban delegates arrived in the Afghan capital.
