Tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan escalated sharply following border clashes earlier this month, which left dozens dead and hundreds injured. Both sides have accused the other of initiating the conflict.
This second round of peace talks, held in Istanbul since Saturday, is focused on strengthening the fragile ceasefire reached earlier in Doha, Qatar, and building a framework for long-term border peace and security.
