Afghanistan-Pakistan Talks in China Continue Until Thursday

Informed sources have told Tolo News that the ongoing talks between Afghanistan and Pakistan in the city of Urumqi, China, have so far been positively assessed and are expected to continue until next Thursday. According to these sources, the negotiations began last Thursday in Urumqi, the capital of China’s Xinjiang province. Despite several days having passed since the talks started, no details regarding the main discussion topics or potential outcomes have been released. So far, neither Pakistani officials nor representatives of the Taliban administration have officially provided information about the progress of these talks—a situation that has consistently drawn criticism regarding the lack of transparency in regional engagement processes. In recent years, China has sought to facilitate dialogue between Kabul and Islamabad within the framework of its regional initiatives, dialogues considered especially important given the political and security challenges between the two countries.
