In two days, the city of Istanbul is set to once again host delegations from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Earlier, the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that the talks would be held at a high level and stated that the session would focus on the implementation details of the second round of negotiations.
However, as the meeting approaches, it is still unclear who will represent each side.
Political analyst Samiullah Ahmadi said: “The Islamic Emirate wants Pakistan to send a delegation that has the authority to make decisions, because the previous team lacked competence.”
During the second round of negotiations, delegations from both countries accused each other of incompetence in the dialogue process.
Political experts note that in order to resolve ongoing tensions between the two countries, the talks must focus on specific clauses of the agreement and a clear mechanism should be established to effectively address challenges between Kabul and Islamabad.
Political analyst Najib-ur-Rahman Shamal stated: “Both sides need to agree on mechanisms that can facilitate the resolution process.”
It is worth noting that the second round of negotiations faced multiple deadlocks, but ultimately Kabul and Islamabad agreed to extend the ceasefire. The next meeting is scheduled for November 6.
