Peace talks between Afghanistan and Pakistan have collapsed following a demand from Islamabad that Kabul assume responsibility for Pakistan's internal security. The Taliban described the condition as beyond its capacity. The development comes amid ongoing border clashes and efforts at mediation.
The peace negotiations between Afghanistan and Pakistan ended in failure on November 9, 2025, as reported by India Today. Islamabad's insistence that Kabul take on responsibility for Pakistan's internal security proved to be the sticking point. This demand was immediately rejected by the Taliban, who labeled it 'beyond capacity.'
The talks were aimed at addressing ceasefire issues and reducing border clashes between the two nations. Keywords associated with the event include Afghanistan, Pakistan, peace talks, Taliban, ceasefire, Islamabad, Kabul, border clashes, Turkey mediation, and Zabihullah Mujahid, suggesting involvement of Turkish facilitation and the Taliban spokesperson.
No further details on the timeline of the talks or specific locations were provided in the reports. The collapse highlights ongoing tensions, with no immediate resolution in sight for the security concerns driving the conflict.
