Stalemate in Turkiye: Pakistan-Afghanistan Border Talks Face Setbacks

Tense negotiations between Pakistan and Afghanistan ended without resolution, as officials attempted to tackle cross-border military issues but remained at an impasse.

The talks, held in Turkiye over three days, focused primarily on mechanisms for addressing terrorist activities from Afghan soil. However, key sticking points persist in securing commitments from the Afghan Taliban.

The initial positive tone of the negotiations gave way to frustration, as optimism waned and discussions hit a stumbling block. Despite the deadlock, neither party is eager for dialogue to cease, indicating the importance of ongoing diplomatic efforts.
