I respectfully disagree.
When you hold talks and talk of peace with Taliban you are recognizing them as a legitimate entity which comes them power and propaganda value. They are neither honorable nor reliable and can turn back to their violent ways once they get the time to re-group like they did in Pakistan.
If they offer to surrender then amnesty can be granted and individuals can be integrated but holding talks as equals is a folly
There are only two options
1) Afghanistan National Army secures the entire country , eliminating all Taliban and securing its border with Pakistan
2) Give Taliban positions in government and negotiate end of hostilities
There is no other option , Pakistan can do very little in both cases
Although ANA can take a leaf out of operations that Pakistan Army has done.
