Taliban on Saturday confirmed that the third round of talks with Pakistan, held in Istanbul, had ended without any agreement. They accused the Pakistani delegation of attending the negotiations in an “irresponsible and uncooperative” manner, undermining efforts to resolve rising tensions along the border.
Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban’s chief spokesman, said in a statement that despite what he called the Taliban’s “goodwill” and the mediation of Turkey and Qatar, the talks yielded no result due to Pakistan’s lack of commitment.
