Head of the Afghanistan's peace council, Abdullah Abdullah, speaks during an interview with Reuters in Islamabad, Pakistan Sep 30, 2020. ISLAMABAD: Afghanistan's top peace official, Abdullah Abdullah, said on Wednesday he did not expect the result of the upcoming US presidential election to dramatically change the Afghan peace process or troop withdrawal plans.

Trump is currently lagging behind Democrat challenger Joe Biden in polls ahead of the Nov 3 election. "Neither Democrats nor Republicans would want to see all the gains or all the sacrifices they have made in Afghanistan in vain … be hurt once again from Afghanistan or because of Afghanistan," he told Reuters in an interview at the end of a three-day visit to Pakistan.

During his visit to Islamabad, Abdullah had met with Prime Minister Imran Khan as well as the president and foreign minister.
