Afghanistan and Pakistan restart peace talks in Istanbul: Reuters
Mediators Turkey and Qatar urged renewed talks to stop deadly October border clashes and address Pakistan's demand to act against militants using Afghan territory.
- Afghanistan and Pakistan resumed peace talks in Istanbul, Turkey on Oct 30, a day after Islamabad said the discussions had ended in failure.
- Turkey and Qatar urged renewed negotiations to prevent violence, requesting talks be recommenced to stop border clashes that have killed dozens this month in the border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
- Pakistan's negotiating stance centres on militants and safe havens as Islamabad will press Afghanistan to act against Islamist militants using Afghan territory, while Kabul denies control over the Pakistani Taliban.
- Despite the Doha ceasefire, clashes continued with deaths on Oct 26 and Oct 29, and Islamabad said it killed deputy leader Qari Amjad near the Afghan border.
- The frontier, stretching 2,600-km, became a flashpoint after Pakistani airstrikes earlier in October on Kabul, and the Afghan Taliban responded with attacks on Pakistani posts.
