The first round of talks was held between Pakistan and Afghanistan on Saturday (October 18, 2025) in Doha, the capital of Qatar, in which both the countries agreed not to attack each other’s military bases and residential areas. Also, according to the Taliban government of Afghanistan, both the countries have decided that the country will not provide any help to the terrorists working against Pakistan and this has been Afghanistan’s stand for years.
Now the next round of talks between the two countries will be held in Türkiye’s capital Istanbul on October 25. Let us tell you that the talks between Pakistan and Afghanistan, which started at 3 pm on Saturday in Doha, ended at 11:30 pm, after which the first statement came from Qatar. Qatar said that through the mediation of it and Turkey, both the countries have agreed to the ceasefire.
Pakistani Defense Minister agreed
After this, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif gave a statement after the first round of talks that a ceasefire agreement has been reached between Pakistan and Afghanistan and terrorist activities from Afghanistan on Pakistani soil will be stopped immediately. Both neighboring countries will respect each other’s land and sovereignty.
After this statement, Afghanistan government spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid issued a statement saying that in the first round of talks, Pakistan and Afghanistan have agreed not to attack military bases and residential areas. It has also been decided that both the countries will not support those organizations which attack Pakistan.
Afghanistan government issued statement
However, while clarifying his statement, Zabiullah Mujahid briefly wrote on ‘X’, ‘His statement of not supporting organizations attacking Pakistan is not a part of any formal or joint declaration, but is the old stand of the Taliban government of Afghanistan and it has only been agreed between the two sides in Doha that no action will be taken against each other, which is the most important point of the agreement.’
Who was present in the meeting?
Taliban government’s Defense Minister Mullah Yaqoob and Afghan intelligence department GDI chief Mullah Abdul Haq Wasiq were present from the Afghan side in the first round of talks held in Doha on Saturday. Also present from Pakistan’s side were Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif and chief of Pakistani intelligence agency ISI Asim Malik. In such a situation, it has to be seen what comes out in the next round of talks to be held in Istanbul and whether both the countries are able to establish peace on the basis of agreement in the next 6 days.
