Istanbul is set to host Afghan and Pakistan delegations Thursday for high-level talks on a cease-fire agreement between the two neighbors, according to reports on Afghan media.
The South Asian countries will also look to close the gap in opinion after the second round of negotiations collapsed last week.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry had previously announced that the upcoming session would bring together senior officials from both countries to address the unresolved issues.
Neither side, however, has disclosed who will be representing them in Istanbul and according to political observers, the lack of clarity has raised questions about the effectiveness of the dialogue.
Throughout the second round of negotiations, which took place earlier this year, officials from both Kabul and Islamabad traded accusations of incompetence and inefficiency, further complicating the peace process.
