AI Summary

short article 1 min

Afghan and Pakistani negotiators are set to meet in Istanbul on Saturday to address security issues and establish a lasting ceasefire along their shared border following recent intense clashes that resulted in dozens of deaths, including civilians. The conflict began two weeks ago after explosions in Kabul, which the Taliban government blamed on Pakistan, leading to retaliatory actions by both sides. An initial 48-hour ceasefire collapsed, but a second truce established on Sunday appears to have held thanks to mediation by Qatar and Turkey. Negotiators will discuss mechanisms for ensuring stability announced during talks in Doha.
