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. 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 the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not confirmed the talks. The discussions are expected to continue, with China playing a key role in facilitating dialogue.
