Istanbul: The bilateral between Pakistan and Afghanistan, which resumed after being called off recently in Istanbul, has again been suspended following the latest clashes between the Taliban and Pakistani border guards along the Chaman-Spin Boldak area.

The Pakistani delegation halted the talks after an exchange of fire, claiming that the Taliban administration had violated the ceasefire. However, the Taliban refuted Pakistan's claims, saying that they had not reacted out of respect for the peace talks underway.

"Unfortunately, Pakistani forces opened fire on Spin Boldak again this afternoon, causing concern among the local population, even though the third round of negotiations with the Pakistani side has begun in Istanbul,"
