This lack of transparency has increased uncertainty about the tangible achievements of the process.<\/p>\n<p>These negotiations took place amid ongoing clashes on both sides of the Durand Line before the talks concluded. However, following the conclusion of the meeting, tensions have relatively eased, and fewer conflicts have been reported.<\/p>\n<p>Informed sources have described this round of talks as &#8220;positive,&#8221; noting that a relatively constructive atmosphere developed between the two sides. According to these sources, some understandings were reached on certain issues, though the final statement made no official mention of a ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>China, serving as the fourth host of these talks, played the role of mediator. A spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the trilateral meeting between Kabul, Islamabad, and Beijing as positive, announcing the parties\u2019 agreement to continue negotiations and hold subsequent meetings.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, the Taliban&#8217;s lack of clarity regarding the terms of any agreements and next steps has drawn criticism. Several political experts emphasize that sustained diplomacy and providing clear information to the public could prevent a resurgence of tensions.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, many residents of Kabul and other parts of the country are calling for maintaining the current situation and preventing an escalation of conflict, stressing the need for lasting stability and peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two weeks after Kabul-Islamabad peace talks in China, Taliban remains silent on results, raising uncertainty amid calls for peace and transparency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11017,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11018","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-important-news","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11018\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
