Ceasefire Holds Despite Collapse of Afghanistan-Pakistan Peace Talks

Afghan refugees sit beside trucks loaded with their belongings as they wait their turn to leave for their homeland through a border crossing point which partially opened following the Oct. 19 ceasefire, on the outskirts of Chaman, a border town on the Pakistan-Afghan border, Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2025.


The latest round of peace talks between Afghanistan and Pakistan has collapsed, according to Taliban officials, though the fragile ceasefire between the two sides remains in place.

Negotiations aimed at easing tensions and fostering long-term stability broke down after both parties failed to reach consensus on key security and border issues. Despite the setback, Taliban representatives emphasized that the ceasefire agreement would continue, signaling a cautious commitment to preventing further escalation.

Regional analysts note that while the continuation of the ceasefire offers temporary relief, the collapse of talks underscores the deep mistrust and unresolved disputes between Kabul and Islamabad. The situation leaves the future of bilateral relations uncertain, with both nations facing pressure to return to dialogue in order to avoid renewed conflict.
