Istanbul: Pakistan has agreed to resume negotiations with the Afghan Taliban in Istanbul at the request of the hosts. This decision comes as a significant move towards fostering peace and stability in the region.

According to Radio Pakistan, the Pakistani delegation, which was about to depart, will now remain in Istanbul for further discussions. The decision aims to give peace another chance by continuing the negotiation process. The talks will focus on Pakistan’s primary demand for Afghanistan to take clear, verifiable, and effective action against terrorists.
