Pakistan and Afghanistan Seal Ceasefire Deal After Doha Talks

 

A man walks near children next to parked vehicles loaded with the belongings of Afghan citizens attempting to return to their country, after Pakistan closed border crossings with Afghanistan following exchanges of fire between the nations' forces, at the border crossing in Chaman, Balochistan Province, Pakistan October 16, 2025. 

In a significant diplomatic breakthrough, Pakistan and Afghanistan have agreed to an immediate ceasefire following high-level peace talks in Doha, mediated by Qatar and Turkey. The agreement comes after a week of intense border clashes—the deadliest since the Taliban took power in Kabul in 2021—that left dozens dead and hundreds injured.

Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif confirmed the truce, stating that both nations had finalized terms to halt hostilities and would reconvene in Istanbul on October 25 to discuss long-term arrangements. Afghan government spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid echoed the sentiment, describing the deal as a “complete and meaningful ceasefire” aimed at restoring stability.

Qatar’s foreign ministry emphasized that the follow-up meetings will focus on ensuring the sustainability of the ceasefire and establishing mechanisms to monitor its implementation. Regional observers view the agreement as a crucial step toward easing tensions along the disputed border and fostering constructive neighborly relations.
