The recent four-day peace talks between Pakistan and Afghanistan, facilitated by Turkiye, ended without a resolution, as Pakistan accused the Afghan Taliban of failing to uphold their commitments to combat cross-border terrorism. Pakistan's Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Attaullah Tarar, expressed disappointment over the lack of progress, stating that the Taliban regime has repeatedly evaded responsibility and engaged in a blame game. Despite presenting evidence of terrorist activities, the Afghan side did not provide assurances, leading to a breakdown in negotiations. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif noted that Afghan negotiators backtracked on agreements multiple times due to interference from Kabul. The failure of these talks raises significant concerns about regional security and the ongoing threat of militancy, as Pakistan emphasizes the importance of protecting its citizens from terrorism.
