The Pakistani negotiating delegation, which was preparing to return home, has been re-engaged in the negotiation process in Istanbul.
Sources told TOLOnews that Afghan and Pakistani negotiators, with the mediation of Qatar and Turkey, have exchanged views, and the talks are scheduled to resume today (Thursday, October 30).
The sources added that last night, the Pakistani delegation had left Istanbul without reaching an agreement.
This comes amid escalating tensions between Kabul and Islamabad, following violations of Afghanistan’s airspace and territory and Pakistani attacks on Paktika province.
In response, the Ministry of Defense of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan carried out retaliatory strikes on positions across the Durand Line.
Meanwhile, several analysts believe that increasing tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan serve the interests of neither side, and they have called for resolving disputes through dialogue.
