Pakistan hopes for ‘positive’ outcome of next round of talks with Kabul after truce extended

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is hoping for a “positive” outcome of its next round of talks with Afghanistan in Istanbul, the foreign office in Islamabad said on Friday, a day after both sides agreed to extend their ceasefire. The two neighbors engaged in deadly clashes this month that killed dozens of soldiers, civilians and militants dead, before a temporary ceasefire was reached in Doha on Oct. 19. A second round of talks that started in Istanbul on Oct. 25 failed to reach breakthrough earlier this week, but Turkiye announced on Thursday evening that the ceasefire would continue.
