Gareth Price from the London-based research group Chatham House says it is so far unclear if Cowper-Coles made the decision to leave himself.
总部设在伦敦的查塔姆研究小组的普赖斯说,目前还不清楚考珀是否是自己作出了辞职的决定。
"It is clear that he was keener than the official policy on engaging and negotiating with the Taliban, so that could be connected with it or potentially the new government wanting someone who maybe wasn't as closely linked with the previous government here in the U.K," Price said.
他说:“比起官方政策来,他显然更愿意同塔利班接触和协商。离职这件事可能与此有关。或者有可能英国新政府希望请一位与前政府的联系也许不那么密切的人。”
Cowper-Coles had recently clashed with senior U.S. and NATO officials over strategy in Afghanistan.
考珀最近同美国和北约高级官员在阿富汗战略问题上发生冲突。
