The Chief Executive Office welcomed the release of two kidnapped professors of American University of Afghanistan the other day, a statement from the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) said.

American national Kevin King and Australian national Timothy Weeks were busy teaching at the American University of Afghanistan (AUAF) and kidnapped by the terrorists while serving the Afghan people. We congratulate their release to their families and their countries, the statement added.

The statement hoped the prisoner swap could ease intra-Afghan peace talks and reduce violence in the country.
