"We have agreed, if the conditions are in accordance with the agreement, that we will leave within 135 days five bases in which we are currently present," he said in an interview with the Afghan channel Tolo News.
For his part, Sediq Sediqqi, spokesman for the Afghan president, stressed that the "efforts of the Americans and other partners will bear fruit when the Taliban enter into direct negotiations with the Afghan government".
Ghani has appointed a 15-member delegation to meet with the Taliban at the planned inter-Afghan talks in Norway in the coming weeks. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo expressed hope that a peace agreement could be reached by September 1, ahead of the elections scheduled for September 28 in Afghanistan.
The vote will proceed as planned by that date, according to Ghani, except that observers are unconvinced because of the violence in the country.
