Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Friday said that the negotiations between Pakistan and Afghanistan have been suspended, with “no programme for the fourth round of talks”.
“There is a complete deadlock. The negotiations have entered an indefinite phase,” he said while speaking on Brackly News’ programme “Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath”.
The defence minister thanked Turkiye and Qatar for their “sincere efforts” to mediate tensions between the two neighbouring countries.
“They support our stance. Even the Afghan delegation agreed with us; however, they were not ready to sign a written agreement,” he said, adding that Pakistan would accept only a formal, written accord.
This is a developing story and is being updated with new details.
