Afghanistan and Pakistan return to Istanbul for more peace talks

ISLAMABAD/KABUL: Afghanistan and Pakistan will resume peace talks in Istanbul on Thursday, both nations said, after a previous round ended without agreeing a lasting truce. Militaries from the South Asian neighbors clashed last month, with dozens killed in the worst such violence since the Taliban returned to power in Kabul in 2021. Both sides signed a ceasefire in Doha on October 19, but a second round of negotiations in Istanbul last week ended without a long-term deal, due to a disagreement over militant groups hostile to Pakistan operating inside Afghanistan.
