Pak-Afghan Talks Continue today in Istanbul

The Scheduled Meeting in Istanbul follows the first round of Pak-Afghan talks mediated by Qatar and Türkiye in Doha on October 18-19. The talks had come after days of fighting along the Pak-Afghan border – where trade is still closed – and Pakistani strikes on Gul Bahadur group camps in Afghanistan. The Agreement in Doha extended an initial 48-hour truce and resulted in a permanent ceasefire, along with a commitment to reconvene in Istanbul to work on mechanisms for lasting peace and stability between the two countries, from Dawn News.
