Conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan
The countries are embroiled in a fierce security conflict, with each side claiming to be responding to aggression from the other during clashes earlier this month.
These were the deadliest clashes between them in years, marking a low point in relations and also causing alarm in a region where armed groups such as Al-Qaeda are trying to revive.
Pakistan accuses Afghanistan of turning a blind eye to militants crossing the border to carry out attacks. Taliban leaders deny the accusations.
The second round of talks between the parties began on Saturday in Istanbul and aims to transform the fragile ceasefire reached earlier this month in Doha into a solid foundation for peace and border security.
Recall
On October 18, Afghanistan and Pakistan agreed to an immediate ceasefire during talks in the Qatari capital, Doha.
