Pakistan And Afghan Leaders Meet To Discuss Resuming Afghan-Taliban Peace Talks

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif

Wall Street Journal: Pakistani, Afghan Leaders Discuss Resuming Afghan-Taliban Peace Talks

Sharif, Ghani meet in Paris as step toward mending bilateral ties

The leaders of Pakistan and Afghanistan met Monday and discussed the resumption of peace talks between the Kabul administration and the Taliban, Pakistani officials said, in an attempt to revive the stalled reconciliation process in Afghanistan that aims to end the long-running war.

After months of strained ties, the meeting was seen by analysts as the first step toward mending bilateral ties, which is essential for Pakistan-brokered peace talks to resume. The peace process is being actively encouraged by the U.S. and China, with the hope that talks with the Taliban can be resuscitated in the next few weeks.

WNU Editor: This is pointless, the Taliban and now the Islamic State are not interested in peace talks.
