US EditionPakistan and Afghanistan agree to immediate ceasefire after peace talks in Doha
- Qatar announced early on October 19 that Pakistan and Afghanistan agreed to an immediate cease-fire after intensive peace talks in Doha that began October 18, 2025.
- After a sharp escalation in cross-border violence, talks aimed to stop the worst Taliban-era violence since 2021, fueled by Pakistan's demands that Afghanistan rein in militants from Afghan havens.

- Both governments agreed to follow-up meetings in the coming days to verify implementation, while Qatar said mechanisms would consolidate peace and Pakistan focused on ending cross-border terrorism.
- Representatives led by Afghan Defence Minister Mullah Muhammad Yaqoob and Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif met on Saturday, with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim urging diplomatic resolution.
