Pakistan and Afghan Taliban Engage in Ceasefire Talks in China Amid Ongoing Tensions
Pakistan and Afghanistan have initiated peace talks in Urumqi, China, with the aim of establishing a durable ceasefire after weeks of conflict. The discussions, mediated by China, involve representatives from both countries, including officials from Afghanistan's foreign, defense, and interior ministries, as well as its intelligence agency. Despite the ongoing talks, tensions remain high, with Afghanistan accusing Pakistan of firing mortars into its territory, resulting in civilian casualties. The talks are seen as a potential relief for millions affected by the conflict, although they are only the beginning of a broader peace process.
