Pakistan, Afghan Taliban to resume talks in Istanbul today

Pakistan

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and the Afghan Taliban are set to resume high-level negotiations in Istanbul on Thursday, aiming to address security concerns and cross-border militant activity.

Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said that talks are pursued only when there is a possibility of progress. “If there is no chance of advancement, it’s merely a waste of time,” he remarked.

He reiterated Pakistan’s consistent stance that attacks on its territory from across the Afghan border must stop, expressing hope that the Taliban leadership would act wisely for the sake of regional peace.

The previous round of Pakistan-Afghan talks was held on October 25 in Istanbul. The lengthy and tense negotiations failed to yield results on Pakistan’s key demand — an end to terrorism originating from Afghan territory.

During the earlier session, the Afghan delegation reportedly kept seeking instructions from Kabul and Kandahar, delaying the process and causing frustration among participants. After the talks collapsed, the Pakistani delegation had departed for home but returned to Istanbul at Turkey’s request to give the dialogue one final chance.

According to a statement issued by Turkey’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, both sides have agreed to maintain a ceasefire, establish a monitoring and verification mechanism for peace implementation, and introduce penalties for violations. The two parties will resume high-level discussions today, November 6, in Istanbul.

Pakistan, Afghanistan set to resume talks in Istanbul

Pakistan

ISTANBUL: Pakistan has agreed to reopen dialogue with Afghanistan in an effort to revive stalled peace talks, diplomatic sources revealed on Thursday.

According to diplomatic sources, the Pakistani delegation was scheduled to return home today after earlier negotiations with Afghan representatives failed to yield results. However, Turkish officials requested the delegation to stay in Istanbul.

Sources added that Afghan authorities also made diplomatic contacts regarding the stalled dialogue, leading both sides to agree on reviving bilateral talks.

According to diplomatic sources, Turkey is keen to ensure that the ongoing Pakistan-Afghanistan talks under its mediation yield positive and lasting results.

Sources said the Pakistani delegation, which was earlier set to return home, will now extend its stay in Istanbul to resume dialogue and give peace another chance.

The negotiations, sources added, will primarily focus on Pakistan’s core demand that Afghanistan take clear, verifiable, and effective action against terrorist elements operating from its soil.

Pakistan has once again emphasized that Afghan territory must not be used for activities against Pakistan, sources confirmed.

The delegation participating in the renewed talks comprises the same officials who took part in the earlier round of discussions with Afghan counterparts.

Earlier, Federal Information Minister Atta Tarar had announced that the previous round of talks between Pakistan and Afghanistan in Istanbul had ended without success.

On October 19, Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Pakistan and Afghanistan had agreed to an immediate ceasefire, which was later extended by mutual consent.
