The Taliban official said Turkish officials had signaled that “talks could continue,” although “nothing is certain at this stage.”
His remarks follows the collapse of four-day talks between Pakistani and Taliban delegations in Istanbul.
“We made it clear that if anyone tries to launch an attack from Afghanistan into Pakistan, we will stop them,”.
Tarar said the talks focused on a single agenda: obtaining Taliban commitments to stop the use of Afghan soil as.
Gharibabadi said the agreement was reached during a recent visit by an Iranian delegation he led to Kabul.
The official said the Pakistani side may abandon the negotiations due to internal disagreements and interference from “specific military circles”.
The two delegations are expected to issue a joint communiqué by the end of the day, the report said.
The meetings, held in Istanbul, are the second round of formal talks between the two sides following weeks of escalating.
Gharibabadi arrived in Kabul on Sunday, Oct. 26, at the head of an Iranian delegation.
