Pakistan-Afghanistan peace talks being held in Istanbul finally broke down after 4 days of talks. Meanwhile, reports have revealed that the real reason for the standoff was Islamabad’s secret agreement allowing US drone strikes from its soil, and not Indian interference.
According to Tolo News, Afghan negotiators demanded a written commitment from Pakistan to stop violating Afghan airspace and stop foreign drone flights over their territory. In return, Kabul promised to prevent anti-Pakistan terrorist groups, including Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), from operating across the border. However, the talks broke down when the Pakistani delegation reportedly admitted that a foreign country was conducting drone operations from their territory, which Tolo News later confirmed was the US.
What is the agreement between Pakistan and America
The Afghan outlet said in a report that for the first time during these talks, Pakistan admitted that it had an agreement with the US allowing drone strikes and claimed that it could not break that agreement. Under the leadership of Donald Trump, Pakistan has strengthened defense cooperation with America. Meanwhile, Trump has asked the Taliban to return the Bagram airbase to America and warned that failing to do so will have serious consequences.
Khwaja Asif accused India
Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif accused India of failing the talks. He told Geo News that Delhi is controlling the people sitting in Kabul who are playing the puppet game. Afghan media reported that Asif did not explain how his delegation’s stance changed immediately after the phone call confirming Pakistan’s inability to stop US drones.
Afghan journalist Tamim Bahis wrote on
Afghan Defense Minister Mullah Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid has warned Islamabad that any new violation of Afghan airspace will be met with a reciprocal response.
