BRUSSELS: Reaching out to Taliban moderates is a tactic "worth exploring," US Vice President Joe Biden said Tuesday as he sought to engage Europe in a new strategy for Afghanistan. During a day of back-to-back meetings with NATO and EU officials, Biden pledged to take into account European concerns about Afghanistan, emphasising the break from ex-president George W. Bush’s go-it-alone approach. "It’s worth exploring," Biden told reporters after President Barack Obama at the weekend floated the idea of talks with moderates from the Islamic militia to help stabilise the country. "I do think it’s worth engaging and determining whether or not there are those who are willing to participate in a secure and stable Afghan state," he said in Brussels following talks at NATO headquarters.
